Reviews for Backyard Chicken Keeping:

"What a great class! We learned so much and feel so much more confident and motivated about entering the world of chicken keeping. Thanks so much for an interesting and informative class." --Jennifer P.

"This class was a wonderful introduction to backyard chickens. I learned so much, and seeing the chickens (and getting to hold one) was great. I appreciated the "resource list" provided at the end, to show me where to go next (books, feed stores, web sites, in person, etc.) for more information. I highly recommend this class to anyone thinking about getting chickens." --Jenny L.

Reviews for Getting the Most Out of Your Home Garden:

"I've been gardening for many years, but got a lot of helpful information out of the class. Sundari is knowledgeable and very easy to listen to and understand. I would recommend the class." --Joni E.

"Informative and very practical. Makes succession planting seem much less daunting." --Camille H.

"As someone who is new to gardening, I feel more comfortable in planning my garden after this class. I got the basic information needed to get started and a list of resources for topics I may want to explore in depth. It was also helpful to see the backyard garden to get an idea of how big I want to start. There were great planting tips as well." --April L.
