- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently enrolled in the Landscape Horticulture Department at Merritt College. I take classes on an ongoing bases, in Aesthetic Pruning, Landscape Design and Landscape Horticulture. This spring I took an amazing plant ID class, completely out in the field, where I learned key botanical and horticultural characteristics of Native Plants in the Bay Area. I was able to apply this info on a large installation in SSF. where I needed to plan for very little dry season water. I was also involved in a semester long training, also out in the field, in which I was mentored in the art and science of Aesthetic Pruning. Lastly, I just finished up an intensive training with the Pleasanton water district to qualify as a Water Efficient Landscaper. This qualification will also allow me to be an EPA Water Sense Partner.
