Field Trips
In the past month all the interns and I got together every week and discussed various aspects of Reiman Gardens and public gardens in general. We compare and contrast the different jobs that make the Gardens run and what goes on behind the scenes. We have the chance to talk with all the full time staff to see how their experience has been and how they have grown.
Another component of being an intern is going on various field trips that relate in some form to Reiman Gardens. It has been important for us to see how places in the areas are similar and different to our mission. This past week we had the chance to go to Des Monies and visit Better Homes & Gardens Test Gardens, Terrace Hill Gardens & Home, Pappajohn Sculpture Park, the Science Center of Iowa, and the Des Moines Botanical Center. While going to each place it was great to see what is different from our garden and how size can make a big difference. Each place we visited had an interesting story and concept, which added interest.
