You asked for it in our Customer Survey last year— classes on gardening basics. Then . . .
Evelyn frowned and said "People ask for gardening basics but they are already such good gardeners they won't come because it will be boring for them."
Jan (the other daughter) laughed and said "People will come, you're always fun and full of gardening wisdom."
Kasey smiled and said "Let's prove Evelyn wrong!"
So, help Jan and Kasey prove Evelyn wrong for the first time! Read about the first in this series of classes on the events calendar
then email Kasey sign up. Be the first on your block to find out the secrets to making your garden look like Weidner's.
