Garden
Horticulture is the credential, not a mood board.
Century College, White Bear Lake: VT Greenhouse Specialist (756 hours, 90.75 credits, Oct 2012) and VT Grounds and Turf Specialist (592 hours, 69.84 credits, Jan 2013). Industrial greenhouse. House manager. Then a cutting garden that feeds the atelier.
What she actually trained
Greenhouse production, grounds, turf. Not a weekend workshop. The rows in the lookbook are the point: dahlias, zinnias, herbs, harvest crates. Live plants first. Arrangement second. Landscape when a lobby needs a longer story than a vase.
Why it sits next to culinary
Forest Park culinary certification, July 2013, Chef Lemure. Old Standard under Chris DiMercurio. The same discipline that plated a plate wraps a posy. Herbs hang because they belong in both rooms.
