The gardening workshops were incredibly informative and helped me grow my skills significantly.

A young person in a red short-sleeved shirt is gardening, focusing on the plants in a raised garden bed. The setting is outdoors with a backdrop of blurred greenery and a wooden fence. The individual appears to be wearing gloves and attending carefully to the plants.

I appreciate the unbiased information provided by the volunteers; it truly enhances our gardening efforts.

Several people wearing wide-brimmed hats are tending to a garden. They are positioned on a grassy area surrounded by trees and vibrant flowers, with baskets placed beside them. The setting appears peaceful and natural, with a focus on greenery and outdoor work.
