One of the students I met on my Oregon State University Master Gardener course is a high-school teacher who teaches gardening, composting and a host of other life skills. His students are planning their garden for the Spring, and it's exciting to hear about the progess they are making.
This educator's newest foray into farming involves an internship at a local farm near San Diego, CA. His first assignment involves work in "The Chicken Brigade", and I can't wait to hear about this newest adventure. Who ever knew the directions that Master Gardening could lead us?
Not to be left out of the 'chicken' adventure, I recently spent an hour or so at a local nursery in my town called Flower World. There are 15 acres of plants, water features, and chickens and goats. If I can't have a chicken of my own right now, I'll live my life vicariously through others! There were about a dozen chickens at Flower World a couple of weeks ago, and they seemed very happy, walking around the lovely acreage, scratching for food and greeting visitors as they explored the grounds.
Maybe sometime in the future I'll have a 'chicken' adventure, too!
