Does your lawn look like you are growing weeds instead of grass? Are there big dead patches? Is…read moresomething eating your vegetables? Well this is the place to go. The Master Gardener's Plant Clinic will analyze your soil, identify that weed or bug and tell you how to fix it. This location also offers classes on creating a rain barrel, growing vegetables in Central Florida and healthy cooking. University of Florida IFAS Extension has beautiful gardens were you can stroll and see how to raise butterfly plants, create a square foot or raised garden or just chill in a tranquil garden. Behind the main building they have gardens were you can wander, explore and learn. They send out a newsletter, publish a class schedule and offer a plant fair once a year. The best part of this service is that for the most part it is free. There are some nominal charges for materials on classes but if you are nesting both inside and out, you have to check out this place for ideas and great learning opportunities.

This is the new location for the University of Florida IFAS Extension partnered with Orange County…read more The old extension office was located at the corner of Michigan and Bumby, where the Orange County Juvenile Corrections Center now stands. I mention this because I was not certain as to whether the old office for the UF Extension still operated there. Which it is not. But the Mable Butler Family Center is there. Must be nice to be an elected official and name a government facility after yourself. If that is the case, then I am renaming the Florida Citrus Bowl as the Big Al Bowl. That's if I am ever elected in office. Anyway, the University of Florida IFAS Extension is there for all your questions for landscaping and gardening. Or even houseplants. They offer free pH soil tests, plant identification, pest identification (not the pests you find at a night club), advice on nutrient deficiencies, plant health, irrigation, and solutions to any problems related to landscaping and gardening. If you are having a problem with a house plant, like I just recently had, you can take the plant there for an analysis. Assistance is offered to both home and commercial landscaping, and agricultural business. Horticulture classes and workshops are offered, along with clinics and tours. You can stop in to the center and pick up any brochures and fliers offering the information that you need. The extension is offering a Urban (Backyard) Chicken Class for those interested on Tuesday, April 12th from 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. You can call 407 254-9208 for more information. So if you have a problem with your sod or soil, problem with a plant or pest, bring a sample to the Extension. They will be more than happy to help you out. The extension plant clinic is open Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m., and 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.

This is a "behind the scenes" Disney thing that most people do not know about. That is, unless you…read morework for Disney or live in Orlando. Those who live in Orlando tend to know a good bit about Disney. Disney University is located behind The Magic Kingdom where the MK Cast Members park every day. Going through Disney University is mandatory for every Cast Member, no matter how big or small the role may be. When hubby (John S.) started working for Disney, he spent his first four days at Disney University and he said he had a blast and they went out of their way to make it a fun experience. Leave it to Disney to pay you for having fun! This is where they teach you all things Disney like saying, "Have a magical day," and pointing with either 2 fingers or your entire hand... never, ever point with just one finger. Pay attention next time you're at Disney, you should never see a Cast Member point with just one finger. They learn all kind of neat things about Walt himself and Disney history too. They even incorporate little games and give out prizes. We have two really cute Disney figurines from hubby answering questions correctly. Like I said, it's "behind the scenes" and something you'll never experience unless you happen to go to work for Disney World, but I wanted to review it because I know there are many people who are interested in what happens behind the magic at Disney. =)

Have you ever wondered how all the Disney cast members learn the "Disney Way"?? Well, the answer…read moreis school....Disney University that is!!! Without giving away too much (Sworn to secrecy), I can tell you this is where each cast member goes to learn the basics about Disney and how to create the magic that Disney is so well known for!!! If you ever get the chance to work for the best place in the world, you're sure to enjoy the many visits you make here!!

**Shark Stride 5K Review**…read more They have an annual 5k that they hold here at the school to help raise funds for their mission trip. It starts with a competitive run and follows with the fun run / walk. Stroller and dogs welcome. They have plenty of parking at their building and the run / walk takes place around the lake just behind it. It's a smaller sidewalk path, so you can't fit more than two people side by side, and you'll have to line up for people to pass by the other way, but it's a nice view the whole way around. It's also nice knowing that the funds from the run support the students going to a mission trip so it's a solid charity to support. It's easy online sign up and payment as well. Overall: A A good 5k event, although a small pathway, it's for a good cause!

The staff I spoke with were kind and helpful in helping me find my way around the building. My favorite thing about this building was the student/staff lounge downstairs that was part dining area / living room and part gym! In a building this small I would never expect a gym, but it had about 5-6 machines and some weights for the students and staff to exercise around their schedule. I thought it was neat and so convenient.

Since this is not the main campus, the classes offered are smaller which allows the student a more one on one experience with the professors. To go with this, the teachers know their students by name and face recognition. You are not a number here! Also, the campus is well kept and clean. Everything is always so pristine and if anything is out of order it gets cleaned up right away. Overall, the College of Central Florida's Citrus campus is definitely a good start for a freshman in college and really allows you to ease into the life of college and adulthood. Thank you CF Citrus!
