Here is what some of the
previous attendees have said about
the class:
"Christy is awesome at
offering tips and answering all of our questions...The best part is, of
course, getting your hands dirty." - MM, Los Angeles, CA
I might be a formally
trained horticulturist, but ... I have gotten some great info from
[Christy]. [She has] been able to give me a more real perspective on
things." - CS, Mar Vista, CA.
"I
found the mix of lecture, video and hands-on instruction to be a great
mix. [The class has] definitely motivated me to learn more & explore other
resources."
-Anonymous
As it turns out, the
results of the poll for the most preferred time to hold the class landed on
the same time as the previous series: Saturdays from 9:30 -11:30. So get
ready to spend a spring Saturday morning (or four) with your fellow
Gardenerds and me.
