It was very crowded and hard to see. I enjoyed it, but there were too many people

Rose was very helpful and knowledgeable. Great class except for people who didn’t know how to mute. They interrupted the instructor at times we needed to see and hear her.

Wish handouts came with this class or follow-up videos. Towards the end it went rather quickly so I was unable to complete the 8 sided structure. Otherwise enjoyed very much. Also, the discrepancy between the advertised start time and actually start time was unfortunate.

The teacher was obviously good and knew his stuff, and the fact that he had help to monitor the class was great. I made what I expected to make. But there was a clerical error so the class started an hour late, which was just annoying, especially since the sponsor was not transparent about why there was an error. Also no handouts were provided, so you'd better hope to remember everything you learned, since you don't have anything written to help you remember.

Class was great. Daryl was very informative and knowledgeable. It would have been better to have this as an in person class but at least we got a lot of useful information. One suggestion - If the virtual classes continue, maybe adding an additional session, making it 5 wks would help. There’s a lot to cover and the extra class would help with maybe more actual, personal homework examples.

Thoroughly enjoyed class. Instructor very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The only thing I would change is the lighting.

The class was excellent and the instructor was fabulous.
With that being said there were several technical errors with the scheduling and the zoom set up but we are all in a learning curve now I think.

I loved this class. It was a great introductory overview to gardening but instructor was able to go into great depth over a short three week course. I learned so much and I am able to put my knowledge directly i to my garden!
