New York Botanical Garden

Loved the class and energy of instructor. Would like to do more classes with her. She was engaging, encouraging, and got us all involved in the flower arranging process. This was an introductory class. If she teaches next level I would love to learn from her again. She made it fun!

Such a great class! I cozied up in Colorado with all of my bar tools, ingredients, glassware and an ice bucket and had a great time taking notes, mixing drinks and enjoying the interesting material! Many thanks for a wonderful experience! Best, Amy Kunstle

I’m sorry to say that I was very disappointed with this class. I was expecting to enjoy it. The instructor went through the folding process so quickly and I simply could not keep up with the complexities. After doing the first piece quickly, I thought I would breeze through the rest, but he went too quickly and I could not. After 40 minutes, I left the group. Very disappointing. Helene Crohn

Jenny is an outstanding professional with a wealth of knowledge. Terrific class.

The teacher was engaging and very pleasant

The instructor was fabulous! I made the best arrangement and love it!

This was a fun interactive class with Trish and the participants. I learned a lot while making a gorgeous arrangement!

The topic and the book were wonderful. The instructor, Manny, had all kinds of conspiracy theories that he would talk about sometimes instead of plants.

I thought this course was going to be on Mixology using botanicals, not on botany and the history of mixology. I also recommend that the speaker show the audience what drinks he is making and how they’re made.

A great integration of theory/science of color and practical use with actual flowers. Highly recommend, whether you are pursuing certification or just enjoy making arrangements for yourself and friends. I learned a lot of new information, and gained a scientific basis for what I'd previously held as intuitive preference. The Zoom platform enabled attendance from far-flung places, but limited our experience of our classmates' work to photos (static image, amateur lighting an photography). Since two of the key lessons are about background and lighting, there was a similar tradeoff: at home, with a week to do homework, we can find/create good backgrounds, but smartphone photos and amateur lighting can't really show you the arrangement. Homework review was anonymous; this lessened nervousness, but I would have liked to hear from my classmates about their inspirations and why they made certain choices, and been able to share my dilemmas and ask for suggestions.
