Attended: Girls' Night Out: Seasonal Centerpiece

The centerpiece was so thoughtful and the instructor really did a nice job of making it easy for everyone. Plus we got to learn a few bonus tricks which really added to our at home knowledge of designing centerpieces.

Attended: Landscape Measurement

I you're into busting out tape measures and levels, and getting hands dirty learning how to map out and record elevation to scale then this is the class for you. To be honest as a middle age white dude who just wanted to learn how to design and install level garden beds, I was a bit concerned that I might feel a little out of place taking a class in the gardening section out at the Botanical Gardens. But happy to report I felt right at home, and thought the instructor had a lot of real world experience like someone you'd run into out on a site.
