  • These classes are so fun and informative! Dr. Gowdy’s teaching style works perfectly for those of us who want to learn to become better gardeners.

  • Having struggled with keeping plants alive in the past, I have attended several classes with Dr. Gowdy. She presents the material in a relaxed manner while encouraging questions and discussion. I am happy to report my amaryllis is alive and well, and my spring flowering bulbs are in full bloom!
