Horticulture Personal Statement

The idea of a high school freshman taking a college class at such a young age is not a concept that most people are familiar with. Therefore, when I was presented with this amazing opportunity, I knew I had to take advantage of it. The Wonderful Agriculture Career Prep gave me the chance to take dual enrollment to obtain my A.S degree in Plant Science while completing my high school requirements as well. My high school experience was quite challenging. Not only did I have high school classes and sports, but I also took college courses. From the beginning, this program has served as a preparation in my path to pursue higher education. The program has taught me how about time management, made obvious by the fact that I am now capable of balancing

Before deciding where I wanted to do my service learning, I knew I wanted to do something that had some relevance to my degree that I will be receiving in healthcare management. I was eager to gain more experience and become more knowledgeable of how an organization operates as it relates to healthcare management. I was able to secure an opportunity to volunteer at the Dallas Veterans Affairs (VA) Hospital. After completing the required VA forms, I got partnered with Mr. Alonzo Price Jr. who is a Management Analyst in Ambulatory Care, which is the department that oversees the Primary Care Providers.

The two boys showed they were confidant and knowledgeable about gardening, for example they knew how to use a rake to mulch the garden and how to care for the plants (Elliott, 2014). As a future educator this example can be facilitated into a lesson by developing children’s knowledge on the environment, weather, and season pattern changes that cause the leaves to die and fall off trees (ACARA, 2015). Additionally, children also learn about composting and how these leaves provide essential nutrients to the soil for plants to grow and provide shelter and cover for animals and living things (ACARA, 2015). Children can also develop their science inquiry skills by questioning and predicting various trees and leaves and identify and analyse similarities and differences in the leaves by also using their senses to explore. Most importantly, by engaging children in the process of gardening, they begin to show respect for the environment and understand the importance of maintaining

HSM/240 University of Phoenix In this essay, I will be taking on the role of the head administrator, of the Northumberland Community Garden.

In this letter, I will give a basic outline of the program development stages, evaluation process, and financial aspects of my organization. I will also include other information that would be considered relevant to understanding my purpose for creating this program.

Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac Although Leopold’s love of great expanses of wilderness is readily apparent, his book does not cry out in defense of particular tracts of land about to go under the axe or plow, but rather deals with the minutiae, the details, of often unnoticed plants and animals, all the little things that, in our ignorance, we have left out of our managed acreages but which must be present to add up to balanced ecosystems and a sense of quality and wholeness in the landscape.

For years, it had been my goal to work at a nonprofit. I slowly worked toward this goal by obtaining my Master of Accountancy at Truman State University and doing a variety of volunteer work along the way. I won the Sister Ann Kessler annual community service scholarship

For more than fifty years, Northwest Florida State College (NWFSC) has been a vital part of life in the Okaloosa and Walton county areas. In addition to serving the community with adult education and college courses, NWFSC provides the Child Development & Education Center, Collegiate High School, AmeriCorps, Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance, and Mattie M. Kelly Cultural & Environmental Institute. A natural extension of these programs would be an on campus NWFSC Garden. The dictionary definition of a garden is “1) a plot of ground, usually near a house, where flowers, shrubs, vegetables, fruits, or herbs are cultivated. 2) a piece of ground or other space, commonly with ornamental plants, trees, etc., used as a park or other public recreation

Family Educational Experiences: Spring Break and Summer Chicago Botanical Gardens Botanicals are an appealing way to introduce science to children while pleasing and engaging the senses. At all ages, it is important to orientate children towards native plants and wildlife. Learning about the importance, function, and preservation of native species not only teaches science concepts, but also encourages environmental stewardship. The Botanical Gardens walking and hiking trails are an opportunity to exercise while studying diverse flora and fauna. In addition to nature education opprotunities, Chicago Botanical Gardens has model train exhibit.

Introduction Horniman Horticulture faces increasing cash account difficulties. Cash accounts have continually been decreasing from years 2002 to 2005.

Multiple groups of people give their time then disperse their knowledge into their own communities in order to increase neighborhood expertise that can help protect environments across the state. CEC has been recognized as a top notch garden facility oven the last ten years (CEC. 2017).

As the quote mentions, the study of plants is really important and can be very exciting. Before digging deeper into the quote from They Came before Columbus by Ivan Van Sertima, I was not aware of how important relationships between plants and their environments were. Simple examples include a cactus to the desert climate, or a more complex example; the sunflower being native to both North and South America. This quote proves that botany is not just a simple science of plants, but very complex, for it opens up information that travels way back in time. Plants have been around since the beginning of life and are very important to the life of humans. The information from the slide titled “Did you know” is extremely important to the world of botany.

I attended national conferences and retreats that focused on sustainability and green buildings. My experience in community relations provided me with direct experience in speaking with the public and the media. A large component of my job was meeting with community organizations, I regularly met with a wide variety of community groups in order to recruit potential new members but also to raise awareness of the new campus. In this position, I also served as a primary contact for the media. I often worked with newspapers to gain coverage of campus events. I wrote press releases and news articles about campus projects and events.

I have had the great oppurity to work for the College of Science and Mathematics Dean’s Office for over two years. Whie at the same time, working at the Shooting Sports Education Center. Both jobs were amazing departments to work for. However, I resigned from both jobs to look for one single job that would give me enough hours and pay. While employed at both departments I learned much about professionalism, celergical skills, and much more useful experience. I have listed examples of specific things I did for these departments:

Case #9: HORNIMAN HORTICULTURE Synopsis and Objectives This case captures the problems concerning cash flow and working-capital management typical of small, growing businesses. At the end of 2005, Bob and Maggie Brown have completed their third year of operating Horniman Horticulture, a $1-million-revenue woody-shrub nursery in central Virginia. While experiencing booming demand and improving margins, the Browns are puzzled by their plummeting cash balance. The case highlights the difference between cash flow and accounting profits, as well as the common negative effects of growth on cash flow. It also provides a forum for instilling appreciation for the relevance of free cash flow to business owners and managers, introducing
