Attended: Cascading Bouquet

This class was amazing! The instructor was great and the experience / learning this technique was so great! The only thing that could have made it better was more time (at least another hour). I highly recommend this class!

Attended: Nature's Pharmacy

The class was very informative. The herbal usage throughout human history was very interesting. The instructor's anti big pharma attitude, though understandable, can rub some people the wrong way. The second half of the class provided hands-on exercise in making different aromatic products, which made the class more interesting and fun. It's even better that all necessary materials were included in the course cost. Wish the instructor emailed the presentation in advance so attendees can print them out for notes taking in class. All in all, this course made me want to purchase some essential oils and start making my own "products". I guess that makes the class a big success.

Attended: Flower Arranging with Store-Bought Bouquets

Well-structured and engaging learning experience. The instructor modeled making a bouquet and gave helpful tips. Then, participants had time to make their own floral arrangements and receive feedback from the instructor. We all left with a bouquet and vase. Now, next time I get supermarket flowers I’ll know how to make a beautiful arrangement.

The guys were knowledgeable, informative, entertaining, and I learned quite a bit. I am now interested in the skill of beekeeping and truly a fan of the New Jersey Beekeeping Association.
