After retiring from IBM – UK as a Project Manager, I took a life long interest in gardening to another step, when I became a University of Florida Master Gardener in Orange County. I later began working in the commercial landscape maintenance field, managing projects in landscape design and maintenance for a major hotel and resort complex in the Orlando area. Since my retirement I have been able to spend more of my time working in the community. Working with the St. Lucie County Master Gardeners, I designed and developed the Discovery Garden at the County Agriculture facility on Picos Road in Fort Pierce. |
