JUST LIKE MAGIC!

Few weeks back, Grace, James’ landscape design assistant, got to spend her morning with several hundred 2nd & 3rd graders at the Early Scholars Academy next to London School.  Grace taught kinder through 8th grade in Banquette before she joined us at Gill’s, so this was like “old home week” for her. sallyGrace spoke to the kids about her job at Gill’s. They were fascinated that Grace could be given a pencil drawn rough sketch and she could transform it into a colorful scaled landscape using an computer aided drafting program. Just like magic!
