1. Hands-On Horticulture: Get your hands dirty and learn the art of growing and planting flowers and fruit in our lush, vibrant farm environment. Under the guidance of experienced horticulturists, you'll discover the secrets of sustainable agriculture, gain practical gardening skills, and develop a deep appreciation for the natural world. From seed to harvest, you'll witness the miracle of growth and cultivate a green thumb that will serve you well for a lifetime.

2. Artistry in Bloom: Unleash your creativity as you master the craft of creating stunning bouquets and arrangements. Learn the principles of floral design, experiment with color and texture, and hone your artistic flair under the mentorship of skilled florists. Showcase your creations at our farm store, where you'll learn the ins and outs of merchandising, customer service, and product display. Your eye-catching displays will not only beautify our store but also captivate the hearts of our customers.

3. Community Connection: Step into the spotlight and become an integral part of our local community. Engage with the public and represent our farm at events, markets, and festivals. From greeting visitors with a warm smile to sharing your knowledge about our products and practices, you'll develop invaluable communication and interpersonal skills that will set you apart in any setting. By actively participating in community outreach, you'll forge meaningful connections, expand your network, and leave a lasting impression wherever you go.

4. Diversity and Inclusion: Embrace diversity and celebrate neurodiversity in a supportive, inclusive environment that values each individual's unique strengths and perspectives. Work alongside peers from diverse backgrounds, learning to communicate effectively, collaborate harmoniously, and foster a culture of acceptance and understanding. By embracing differences and cultivating empathy, you'll not only become a more compassionate leader but also gain invaluable experience in navigating diverse work environments—a skill that will serve you well in college and beyond.
