Bay Area Friendly Toward G3 Core Concepts Workshop

 

G3's Maureen Decombe and Jill Sarick "Did You Bring A Calculator?"

A cadre of serious students gathered in Berkeley, CA for the G3 Core Concepts Workshop.  G3 Associate and Richmond-based licensed landscape contractor and landscape designer, Maureen Decombe was on hand to assist G3 Qualified Trainer, Jill Sarick, from the City of Ventura Environmental Services Division in organizing the check-in for the class (and making sure everyone had a working calculator!).

What Are "The Three Questions?"

After a couple weeks of dreary and weeping skies, it was difficult to sit inside for such an amazing, crisp day of Los Angeles-style weather. But, our steadfast Bay Area class took the first step toward becoming a part of the G3 community by hanging in for the entire day of calculations and concepts on Water Budgeting and Low-Impact Design.As usual, the class was completed with a quiz (which was enjoyed by all) and the opportunity to partake in a glass of wine and plate of cheesy artichoke dip at the hotel bar.

Due to several family emergencies, the group participating in the G3 Intensive Seminar voted to reschedule that training event.  The revised G3 calendar has the group back at the Berkeley Marina in September 2011 for the G3 Intensive Seminar and another make-up Core Concepts Workshop.
