“I wanted to tell you after class yesterday what a great class it was, but there were so many people wanting your attention that I decided to just mosey on my way. You were terrific. The material was well organized. Your presentation was right on target. You patiently answered questions, and people left feeling empowered to become the best gardeners they can be. I can hardly wait to see how they feel when they have the whole gamut of what you will teach us. I look forward to Fridays and maybe turning my brown thumb into a green one.”- Sandy E.
