Today, we say "see you later" to a spring intern, Gideon Dollarhide, of Strasburg, Ill.
Gideon has spent more than a month working and learning in the organically grown gardens at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Ind.
"I love harvesting the vegetables," he said. "That feeds something deep."
During a going away lunch this week with the staff and volunteers of White Violet Center, Gideon shared a few favorite experiences during his short time at the farm.
"I learned how to work with a team and adjust to a different experience. I got to work in a greenhouse and high tunnel."
Now he's off to graduate from Lake Land College at Mattoon, Ill., with a horticulture and landscape production degree.
He's looking forward to an educational experience at the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis this summer.
He plans to attend Southern Illinois University (SIU) Carbondale to study plant and soil sciences.
Thank you, Gideon, for all your hard work! Best wishes for a sustainable future!
