Attended: Intensive Home Growing Techniques for Homegrown Edibles

We loved the class. Our instructor was really great, so engaging, enthusiastic, experienced and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the intimacy of the smallish class and the setting at the NYCBG was beautiful, even under a covering of snow. Only one thing: Our instructor indicated that he would be sending us some information from his power point slide presentation by email. We did leave our email address, but we have not yet received the information. I understand he may be busy and it has only been a week since our class. We look forward to receiving that information and getting on with our home garden preparations! Again, the class and the instructor get the highest ratings from us and we would not hesitate to take another class at NYCBG. Many thanks!

Attended: The Overstory: A Conversation with Richard Powers

I had difficulty hearing, partly due to the speaker's indifference to the position of the microphone. I could catch just enough to realize how much I wanted to hear more.

Attended: Botanical Drawing for Beginners

I loved the class. The teacher - Linda Nemergut - was incredible. She has vast knowledge, knows how to deal with beginners, is very patient, gives a lot of personal attention, and answers all your questions. What else to wish for? You are not rushed - also good news for a beginner. Another good thing - for reasonable price you get to understand, what botanical illustration is - and decide, whether you want to take NYBG certification classes or master this type of drawing in depth by yourself. Even if not - information about paper, pencils, supplies, and some basics is applicable for any type of drawing. It was definitely money wisely spent.
