 BLOG #2 (February 10th -21st) Mikala Noonan


Hello again! 

Weeks six and seven flew by. I was on taking our information from the warranty assessment of the Baton Rouge Zoo, and translating it into diagrams. I also did assisted in the planting plan and soil prep plan for a portion of the Perkins Rd underpass project, as well as updating the rendering to match the adjustments. 

Over the weekend, I met some lovely people from the Louisiana Wild Society, who were hosting a native plant giveaway at an antique store in Baton Rouge. I got some tulip poplar, persimmons, and some dwarf palmettos to plant in my parent's backyard. I'll keep y'all updated on their growth.

Back at work we wrapped up the Greenwood documents, as well as an Request for Qualifications for a potential project in Fat City. We had a lunch and learn with SESCO, who provided us with jambalaya and a lot of interesting information on lighting. They have pattens galore and are chromate free! I love a good lunch and learn.

    It's either a cross between a mallard duck and a pekin duck or a leucistic mallard hen so either way it's a SICK duck!

Blog #1 – Jalen Winburn Hello all, I hope everyone is having great times at their internships! In my first week at Confluence in Minneapolis, it was all about learning the systems and how things work here: file structure, licensing, AutoCAD standards, company structure, and how project timelines and budgets work. On my first day, I was able to introduce myself to everyone in the office and get settled onto my desk and computer. In our office there are only 10 of us, including myself and another intern who is also a 4th-year landscape architecture student but at the University of Minnesota. After the first week, and once I was settled in, I was able to start helping around the office for several projects. One thing that surprised me in my first few weeks here was how many projects we are working on at the same time. After my first month and a half, I have already worked on about 30 different projects ranging from amenity decks on rooftops for condos/apartments to city parks around the M...

GREETINGS ONCE AGAIN! I am attempting to get better at this blogging thing, I think my delivery of the last one was a bit bland and robotic. Fortunately, they say in life growth is inevitable and the same applies to my internship experience. I feel the level of trust is being raised with us interns. From the increased workload to the level of work being that is tasked to us. I don't know if it's just me but having my judgement and skill trusted to the level of having a deliverable that I had a large role in being presented to others is a slightly nervous but very rewarding feeling. It also acts as a motivator to keep learning and increase the quality of my efforts.  Assignment updates! Mikala and I did tree warranty work at Greenwood Park in Baker. Our task of was to walkthrough a portion of the park and tag the dead trees and ground shrubs so they could be replaced under their one-year warranty.                         ...
