Hands-on education

The horticulture class at MDC taught by Ron Mossman has been a great experience! The combination of classroom instruction and hands-on work in the nursery has been very pleasant.

We've grafted trees, grown from cuttings, and divided plants from the roots. Week by week, I've watched my work grow before my eyes. I'd highly recommend it!

The loss in income from the business has been noticeable but it is for a good reason. I'm learning a great deal about plants and next year I will continue my education with a class in plant identification! I'm looking forward to that greatly.
