We are so lucky! So many good things have happened for us as we’ve been growing Herb’n Organics. The latest gift has been the involvement of Ms. Brett Pedley, a senior at ASU in the School of Sustainability.
We first met when her class came to Wilson Gardens, where we’re located, to sit under the big old mulberry on the deck and talk about urban gardening–growing food in a urban setting. A few days later, Brett called and asked about doing an internship with us over the summer. Her timing was incredible because we were just starting the process of getting Green Certification from Green America-a huge undertaking. Perhaps the most daunting component is the research involving interviewing all our suppliers to determine their level of commitment to sustainable operation. When we suggested that Brett take on that project for her internship, she loved it! And so did her internship director.
The internship program requires that she blog weekly to share her thought, challenges and progress. We’ve been reading her postings and she’s agreed to share them with our readers. She writes very well and asks the right questions. W e though you might enjoy following her progress as well.
Check out her blog at: locallifecycle.wordpress.com
Enjoy,
Diann
