They had people teaching who were trying to earn their master gardener certification, which requires some volunteer hours. It seemed that some of them did not feel comfortable teaching and were a bit nervous.

I wish they had an advanced level of classes. But on the other hand, at only $5 a class, it was not a bad deal.
