I loved this class! There is nothing like seeing before and after photos of a landscape- it brings a concept or idea to life. I bought Jan's book, "Gardentopia" after the class and quickly read it, cover to cover. It touches upon everything we learned in the class and more. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in landscape design. The class was 2 hours, which flew by far too quickly. I wanted to stay for another 2, or more! Jan is a veteran in her field and is very generous with her expertise. I left feeling encouraged and inspired. I hope to take more classes from Jan.

There were people in attendance with various degrees of knowledge regarding dahlias. The instructor went over anything and everything. Something for everyone.

I honestly did not know that this was a lecture only class. Seeing as I don't have a background in Botany this lecture was amazing. Dan was heartfelt in his delivery of the subject matter. I learned that being creative with landscape design is challenging yet very rewarding. Dan made a Botany believer out of me. Job well done!

This course provides step-by-step instruction in dry brush watercoloring and Carrie Di Costanzo caters her instruction to accomodate the learning needs of both novice and experienced watercolor artists.
Overall, the class met my expectations. Carrie's well-defined course syllabus with its art supply list, her model eggplant drawing, and palette color mixing guide gave attendees a nice headstart for a successful painting experience. There were sufficient breaks to move around and class time went by quickly. It was a thrill to virtually meet up with similar-minded individuals from across the country and observe everyone's progress throughout the day.

Cheryl was easy to understand, shared a great deal of information and was great at taking our questions throughout the class. I found the information she provided very informative and also thought provoking. I intend to do some research on a few items she shared to see what improvements my family and I might be able to make to optimize our health.
