My boring gardens have changed because of what Katie has taught through this class Now I know why my strawberry pots were always failure, but not this year. Katie is clear and concise in her information and I have recommended this class to my gardening friends

I don't have much of a green thumb, but I'm feeling pretty confident that I can create (and hopefully not kill) a container garden after taking this class. Thanks!

I really enjoyed taking this class & learned alot from Katie. Thanks! It's given me all kinds of ideas that I can't wait to put into practice! Now, if it would just stop raining and warm up, I could get busy with what I learned. :)
