Testimonials:

"Prior to taking the Gardening 101 class at Griffin Gardens I would tell anyone that asked that I’m notorious for killing the “easiest” plants. But after taking the class, I gained an understanding of some basic, foundational pieces that I needed to get started on the right track. Marilyn is an incredible teacher that created an environment free of judgment. She was patient and knowledgeable, and allotted plenty of time to answer all of our questions while still showing us hands-on visuals and techniques. Not only would I take this class again, but I would also recommend it to anyone with ANY questions about gardening. Beautiful time well spent!"

"The thing I took away from the class is that sometimes one can over think starting a garden. The 'rules' need to followed. With Marilyn's class I was able to see first hand that risk is worth the reward when it comes to plants and creating a small starting point is really all one needs. Seeds, soil, a pot, water and sunlight. Simple yet effective. I had a sense of encouragement to try."
