She explained to them what\u2019s at the Demo Garden and how it\u2019s maintained, the schedule they normally work, and how they could earn hours by helping there. Then Pat introduced to the interns our Secretary, Treasia Bennett. Every year we invite the officers to come by and be introduced to the new intern class. <br>The morning zoom class was \u201cWhat Did I Eat Yesterday?\u201d led by Dani Carol from the Auburn Home Grounds Team. The class was about growing vegetables and fruits in your home garden.<br>After lunch, Pat Farmer introduced Harriett Jackson, who is over the Pollinator Bed at the Demo Garden, and Ruby Moberg ( not pictured),  who is lead over the Extension Office Gardens. Harriett demonstrated to the class how to prune the knock out roses at the Extension Office. The interns learned a valuable, hands on lesson today.
