Photos from class

Well, I've given up trying to figure out how to get a slide show working.  Didn't want to hold up showing you what it's like at our Saturday class, so here we go......

We meet at the Center for Urban Horticulture, http://www.urbanhort.org/ on/near the University of Washington campus in Seattle.



Quite a sprawling facility that includes a research conservatory......



.......couple of lecture halls, a library.....



......... display gardens, greenhouses and trails on the expansive grounds.  Even in winter it looks lovely doesn't it?



This courtyard is right outside the classroom doors.....



With close to 100 students in the program, the hall we're in obviously has to be pretty big....



We're divided up into Groups/Tables.... 8 students and 1 mentor to a table. Here's out little hang out. Each week the location of our table changes so we're not in the same place in the room each week.



This little basket of supplies is on our table.... notice the Ibuprofin bottle! We got through Plant ID / botanical classifications without having to take any.........



I don't think this sign out on the grounds is meant to point people in our direction.....at least not just yet..... guess they have an MG resource available while class is in session....... but then again, maybe it's there to inspire us to greatness! :)



So beautiful.......
