My first day working in the lily pools, Tim gave me 2 pieces of advice. 1. If you start to drown, just stand up because the water is only 30 inches deep and 2. When you put on those waders, you're an instant celebrity so be sure to smile for the camera and act like you know what you're talking about. Done and done. Here are some of my favorite questions and comments that we all get while we're working.
1. What are you doing?
2. Why did you pick that one?
3. Is that a plant? (It's really, really hard not to be a smart ass when I hear that one. We're a garden. Yes, that's a plant!)
4. Watch out for gators! (That one gets a sympathy chuckle every time because the person obviously thinks they're clever)
5. (While putting on my waders) Look at those sexy pants!
6. Can I take this home?
7. What do you do with the nectarines after you pick them?
8. Where's the bathroom?
9. Is there anywhere air conditioned in the conservatory?
10. You've got the best job in the whole garden!
11. Is the water warm?
12. Can I get in?
13. Will you spray my face with water? (Big no no. Usually, we're using fertilizer water anyways.)
14. What's wrong with my plant at home? The branches are falling off all of a sudden.
15. Why won't my plants bloom for me?
16. Ah! Mangos!
17. Can I take your picture?
18. Oh my gosh it's so hot out here! Aren't you boiling? I don't know how you handle it.
19. Why aren't the roses blooming?
20. This place is so beautiful! You all do such a great job! (My personal favorite)
