Cameron's Post 9/26/14

I gave a talk to a large group of Master Gardener's this past week and was asked to give a presentation on new plants. Being a plant geek, having a chance to talk about plants to a room full of people that are into plants too was a treat. I hope they enjoyed it.

I know I did.

Every now then things like this come along and force me shift from my daily routine enough to remember how much I love doing what I do. Although it took a lot of time to put my presentation together (much of it way past my normal bedtime with a large pot of coffee!), it forced me to break from my normal routine which is often filled more with business related issues and spend some time just celebrating the world of plants...or as it is more commonly known, gardening.

I am so lucky to do what I do for a living.
I have a passion for plants, gardening, landscaping... call it what you want, it's all about being outside, getting a little dirty and having fun with plants. I'm very fortunate to be able to have a career doing what I'm passionate about. That's a pretty cool gig.

Sometimes I get caught up in all the other "stuff" that my day brings and I forget about the cool part. I'm so grateful that life has a way of pulling us aside and reminding about things that we sometimes kind of "forget" about. Thank you Johnson County Master Gardeners for the reminder!
What's your passion?
