    PRIOR STUDENTS HAVE SAID....


    Debby gave me the self-confidence to grow my own food from seeds which I've never had success with before. Her warm and engaging style was instrumental in building my self-confidence. She imparted knowledge and experience in a comfortable and fun way and her handouts are excellent. Watching your seeds come up is so exciting and eating food you have grown yourself is priceless and delicious. - HP, Arlington VA


    There is life in my box! So exciting to see all these little plants. - SG, Fairfax Station VA


    I wasn't sure what to expect and was amazed to learn as much as I did. The whole course was well organized, from beginning to end. - MB, Vienna VA
