  • 5/5 from Patricia Hurst, attended Mar 2022: Really enjoyed attending the Learn Seed Starting class! Full of helpful information and tips.As a newcomer to seed starting it was easy to follow along and understand.
  • 5/5 from Samira Imanian, attended Mar 2022: This was a great team building activity. Nicole even was able to make us a custom kit with everything we need for our "team morale" budget at work! She thoroughly walked us through all the steps and provided good tips and tricks for our developing green thumbs. I would suggest for a group class of any size!
