Recent reviews of Introduction to Gardening Workshop: Grow a Food Forest
- 5/5 from Rob Stafford, attended Sep 2026: Rhiannon was great. Very informative, engaging, and readily shared her knowledge and skills. I loved the succession story of soils and how they move through different stages from desert to old-growth forests. She was able to help me with some issues I have with my garden by giving me simple actions to take to improve the productivity of my garden. It was a very rewarding day, and Rhinannon was very generous and passionate about her subject.
