  • Raised Bed Gardening

    Reviewed by Lauren H. on 4/24/2018
    This course DID NOT meet my expectations or the course description: "This class will cover all aspects of installing and growing in raised beds. Topics include options for purchasing or building them, appropriate sites and soils, season-extension techniques, plant selection, and intensive planting techniques to maximize crop yields in small spaces." While the instructor did show photo examples of different types of raised-beds, little to no time was given about HOW to select materials, HOW/WHERE to purchase kits or materials, or HOW to install/put together. A list of plants was reviewed, and planting techniques were also covered, but the first half of the course description was essentially skipped. The instructor, a professional grower, was very knowledgeable but very scattered. I would NOT recommend this course and especially NOT for a beginner or someone look to make/build their own raised bed. You will be disappointed by the content.

    This class was an unorganized, scattered, waste of two hours delivered by a professional grower who obviously knows what he is doing but has no clue how to teach. It was a waste of time and money.
