During my many years in Extension, I have had the opportunity to work with many dedicated Extension staff. Last night our Cook County Horticulture team presented a first in a series of school and community garden workshops at our Westchester office. As the team developed this training, I was continually impressed by the enthusiasm and dedication my colleagues show for the work they do in Cook County. It is a pleasure working with them. Thank you, Dr. Sue Gasper, Nancy Kreith, Zach Grant, Gemini Bhalsod, Sarah Batka, Latosha Reggans and Margaret Burns Westmeyer.
