Very knowledgeable tutor Simon told us many skills to grow vegetables at home.
We managed to plant some seeds and herbs. All for us to take home to grow.
Simon gave us tips about composter, fertilize and anti-pests at home. All very useful and we will definitely use his methods soon.
We also tasted Simon's pick-of-day. Home-grown tomato salad is very juicy and delicious with thyme. Look forward to next year we can make it at home with the vegs we grew ourselves.
Thank you very much to Simon for the wonderful gardening class.

Very good teachers and well structured class.
Very interesting class to learn new gardening tricks.
Went home with some herbs. Now waiting them growing.
Definitely agree that we throw away too much that Simon turned them into seeds. Very good class. Definitely will recommend friends to come as well.
