“Thank you to all the instructors and support rain gardeners. Everyone made the course easy to go through. Also the welcoming of any question(s) and the follow up to each question was professional and friendly. No question was responded to as silly and unimportant. You made everyone feel what they are trying to do was very important.”

“This is the best garden class I have ever taken. Instructors were so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I liked that the instructors shared their own experiences building rain gardens. I loved that when the course was done I actually felt like I had the knowledge to build a rain garden.
In the past when I had read or gone to talks about rain gardens I felt overwhelmed by the idea, but now I understand the steps. Wonderful job!”
– Lisa G.
