Is There Something in a Name? April Gardner Was Told

question 113

True/False

Is there something in a name? April Gardner was told that she would grow up to be a master gardener. She didn't really believe that stuff, but now she finds herself in charge at a large city-owned botanical garden. She is requiring her staff to pursue continuing education. To put her money where her mouth is, she will enroll in a couple of accounting and finance courses at the local community college because this is an area where she is weak. This is a good plan, especially since she is the boss.
