 | Midland Welcomes Garden Intern
|
 | | Katie Isaacson, Serena Whitridge and Ben Munger '79 in the Garden |
Coming to Midland is a unique 80° weather experience for an Easterner in the middle of January! Serena Whitridge hails from the Hudson valley region in New York --Stanfordville, NY-- and works at the Hotchkiss School in lovely Lakeville, Connecticut. The purpose of her visit is to explore the Midland Farm and Garden and shadow Katie Isaacson and Ben Munger in hopes to transfer some of the gardening wisdom here to the infancy program that Hotchkiss has just begun. Serena's background lies in hands-on farming and as a University of Vermont Graduate in December of 2010 studying environmental studies and minoring in food systems. |
