Work Experience
Personal Home Gardener
The Wright's Homestead-Kirkman, IA
April 2004 to Present
I helped my father with our home's one-acre garden until I was old enough to take over the duties
completely. I plow, plant, fertilize, water, weed, prune, control pests, and harvest the garden. I also create
animal barriers like deer and rabbit fencing and bird netting. I started using a weed barrier in the garden
and also taking the extra produce to the farmer's market in the last few years. Chainsaws were used to
prune trees, cut down unhealthy trees as needed, and turned into firewood. I help care for farm animals.
