Dave’s courses are fabulous! And the best part is that I can refer to them every day! They are essential!!
Lisa –
Sooooo valuable. Dave is so knowledgeable. I’m not sure how he manages to keep up to all of the questions that he continuously gets, but he answers everyone, in a concise, patient fashion. Very grateful to have taken the course. I need to review everything this month again. Thank you so much!
Kim –
Best classes ever!

I took this course in winter 2020, planning for my 2nd season of flower farming and I’m so glad I did. I gained such a huge amount of knowledge for expanding my offering ! It gave me the confidence to expand my bulbs, perennials, shrubs production efficiently, avoiding years of trials and errors and $$ loss. Dave is an awesome teacher (and a living flower farming encyclopedia;) and putted all on his knowledge in easy to understand way, and thouroughly and clearly answered all questions. It was really like having a very skilled perso/big brother in your office telling you “do more of this, stop messing with that” and that was exactely what I needed !
