A gardening class for everyone! No prior experience necessary - all you need is a desire to grow something useful, edible, beautiful, or for the birds. 
I’m excited to share some tips I’ve picked up from a lifetime of earth tending. Whether you live in an apartment in the city, have a small suburban lawn, or live in a rural landscape - you can take notes from this class and apply them to growing flourishing plants in any scenario.
In “Gardening 101" you will learn:
<ul><li>Basic gardening concepts</li>
<li>Plant propagation techniques: Seed Starting, Divisions, &amp; Cuttings</li>
<li> Garden planning &amp; maintenance</li>
<li>Plant harvesting &amp; storage</li>
<li>Suggested herbs for the home garden </li>
</ul>For your class project, you'll take an herbaceous cutting which will allow you to quickly double the size of your house plant or herb garden collection! 
Materials you'll need:
<ul><li>Notepad</li>
<li>Sharp pair of scissors or pruners</li>
<li>Glass of water</li>
<li>A plant you would like to take a cutting of</li>
<li>A pot of soil or a place outdoors where you can plant your rooted cutting</li>
</ul>My gardening journey started in my mother’s rock garden, led me to start more gardens than I care to count, landed me a job as greenhouse technician at the University of Pennsylvania, and finally brought me to managing a garden of my own for my business. I wonder where earth tending will take you!
