Note, if anyone wants a last minute spot, we have a couple remaining. Email me at jewishfarmer@gmail.com if you are interested (click on the sidebar “classes” to find th details, or query me). Unfortunately, all the scholarship spots are presently filled. And obviously, there will be plenty to follow along with here on my blog, and Aaron’s www.poweringdown.blogspot.com – note, not all posts will be crossposted, so if you are interested, you’ll want to track both sites.
Also, if you are registered for this course and HAVE NOT received information about registering for the discussion group, please email me ASAP, so we can get you set up. We have one registrant whose email address has been bouncing and we are anxious to get in touch.

In gratitude for allowing me a scholarship spot in a past class, I’ve been posting notices about your classes in my blog. Many thanks for your continued generosity, here on your blog as well as your classes. May your generosity be returned tenfold!
I, too, am so appreciative of having the opportunity to participate in the garden design class, through this scholarship opportunity. At this tough time, where I find myself at the lowest point in my life-economically that is, this is a real gift! I hope to be able to pay it forward, in honor of your generosity to me and others…Deborah
This is a superb write-up, I discovered your site researching aol for a related subject matter and came to this. I couldnt find to much other material on this article, so it was awesome to discover this one. I will be back to look at some other articles that you have another time.
Hey there! I understand this is kind of off-topic but I had to ask. Does operating a well-established blog like yours take a large amount of work? I am brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary daily. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!
Hello there! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I truly enjoy reading through your posts. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the same subjects? Thanks a ton!
