Lots of practical information for the beginning gardener, or anyone who has grown roses but never was sure about what to prune and when. All of my questions were answered during the class. The instructor was highly qualified and had a good sense of humor.

The one issue was that the organization did not have me on the list when I checked. The registration was done on CourseHorse 2 weeks in advance.

Superb easy to go along teaching!
Never did that before & she’s a great teacher.
Location is not so easy to go to due to crazy traffic, but it was worth it

The handouts were tough to read and while the two teachers did a good job and knew the material, it would’ve been better to not look at the Yesler Swamp for IDing. I thought I was going to get a better idea of what plants should go in a yard/garden.
