Excellent! Enjoyed and learned very much! I liked the fact that we started from the beginning, with starts; planted veggies over several classes and followed the spring planting schedule. Love that the course is started along with the seasons so you could apply what you learned in class at home. I ve integrated so much of what I learned into my garden planning. I used my space much more effectively and improved my composting I have used a lot! Thank You for Supporting the Hunter Park GardenHouse!
