More about Christina Lind-Thielke Lind-Thielke, first worked at McCrory Gardens as a summer gardener while attending South Dakota State University. Following graduation, she worked in the landscaping industry in California before returning to McCrory Gardens. She has been assisting Head Gardener Chris Schlenker with the care of the 45 acres of arboretum and 25 acres of formal display gardens that make up McCrory Gardens. In her new position she will continue to work with Schlenker. Lind-Thielke and Schlenker manage a staff of 10 student gardeners throughout the summer months as well as various other volunteers throughout the year. With the help of staff and volunteers they plant 40,000 annual plants each spring. As the Education Coordinator Lind-Thielke will also take on several additional duties. In this role she will lead garden tours, continue educational outreach to schools and the community, and coordinate all the educational programs offered by McCrory Gardens Education and Visitors Center. “It’s busy during every season and we have more of a year-round appeal now with the education center,” Lind-Thielke said. She has already launched a few new programs for summer 2016. Some of the programs Lind-Thielke oversees include: Third Thursday at the Gardens, which offers free adult educational sessions to the public; Books and Bloom, an eight-week session for preschoolers in the summer; and Team Green, a program geared toward third to fifth graders which teaches them about different aspects of nature. New this year is the Junior Arborist’s Camp. It will be a week-long camp for 13-18 year-olds, focusing on trees in the arboretum and the arborist profession. niGrow “WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR A JOB, I PUT THE CLASSIFIEDS TO WORK!” Our Help Wanted Listings Have Hundreds Of Opportunities For You... • Full-Time • Part-Time • Permanent • Temporary 319 Walnut • Yankton, SD 605.665.5884 fcsamerica.com www.missourivalleyshopper.com THERE’S A REASON REAL ESTATE BUYERS LAND WITH US. www.missourivalleyshopper.com When you ?nance farmland with us, you aren’t just another customer – you are a customer-owner.
