But know this: Contribution is not required to view this class.  I decided to make this class free as a loving contribution to my community.  As a long-time community gardener, I already know from experience that I'm willing to stand in the hot sun and talk about herb gardening with anyone who is willing to stand with me and listen - for free!  Everyone is welcome to view the class, so please share it with anyone who may benefit - your family, neighbors, and friends.

Many community gardeners are living in low-income situations.  If you are able, consider donating to Project Grow or to your local community gardening organization.  Donations help these organizations offer scholarships to low-income applicants.
