The 1st class of Garden Fresno is today. I’m getting very excited to start sharing my knowledge about gardening with other Fresnans. Hopefully, I’ll learn some things along the way also.

Below is the outline for the Introduction and Planning session. If you’d like to check out the class there is still time. I ask for a $20 deposit. Also if you can’t commit to all 10 sessions, you can pick the classes you want at $20 each.
