So far this year, the one thing that’s remained as constant as a well-worn pair of work boots on our farm is... you guessed it, rain. And as I sit here writing this, it’s raining again. If only we could bottle it up and sell it—at least then we’d make some money off all this soggy madness!

We all have those people who leave a mark—not just on our careers, but on how we think, lead, and grow. For me, that person was a truly remarkable boss who somehow managed to be part mentor, part motivator, and part philosopher-king. He’s since retired, but the lessons he left behind still echo in my head, often in his voice (with a side of dramatic flair).
Rob and I love working on the farm, enjoying the peace and spotting the occasional local wildlife like kangaroos, bush turkeys, and black cockatoos. But once in a while we need to step away and explore the broader horticulture world. Recently, we travelled to Melbourne to attend the Hort Connections 3-day conference.
