Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Class! I've enjoyed gardening with my farmer Dad as a kid; this course introduces lots of modern concepts and practical suggestions. An amateur gardener myself, I'm using her tips to re-start a shady garden with greens. I'm inspired to grow sprouts and microgreens. I had a peach with tons of fruit one year and nothing at all the next - I understand now it could be due to the premature flowering and bitter cold afterwards. Loved the class. I'm sure I'll watch it again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from We are really enjoying this Course We have just begun to watch this. We find the presenter engaging, and the pace of the video good. It keeps the attention without going in to so much detail that learning and retaining the information gets bogged down.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very helpful tips I really enjoyed the examples of material that we can repurpose to use in the garden and the very practical explanations of how to grow vegetables in a variety of settings. I would have loved a couple more classes on specifics like planning, spacing, combining - the course touched upon it but I will need to look elsewhere for information on eg when to plant potatoes or greens/lettuce. But overall the course was excellent!
