“This course gave so many ideas on what is possible to grow in containers. Steve made container gardening look easy. He showed us how to make and water containers with materials we already have lying around the house. What I've always loved about Steve's classes is he gives a lot of examples. We are shown many ways we can grow things to suit our lifestyles and skillsets. I find it very inspiring.
