First day on the job!

 

Maria Jaramillo joined My Dragonfly Gardens through an internship program as a native plant gardener. She quickly immersed herself in studying the relationships between Florida’s native plants and the diverse urban soil types they inhabit. With a solid academic foundation in Ecology, Evolutionary, and Conservation Biology, combined with her expanding knowledge of chemistry, Maria took the initiative to establish the soil division under the guidance of MDG’s mentorship.
