Yes!

I took my first class at the New York Botanical Garden this week, a two-day intensive "Terrace Gardening." It was great! At first when the instructor said there would be homework and a mail-in final I thought, I am out of here! As she got started I stopped thinking about not wanting to do the work, switched to but not being able to do it, after all I don't know anything about design, I don't know what plants are good with others, their color, whether or not they grow up or over, I can't draw to scale etc. etc. etc. Well I did the homework, it took me hours but enjoyed every minute of it. It seems that knowing the best image, having to pick it in the blink of an eye, editing picture stories, figuring out the puzzle of a 24/7 work schedule for 30 plus people, translated pretty well to the work. It's not perfect but good enough to get me psyched and looking forward to proudly sending in my final exam. Here's proof of the homework, a view from a lunch spot in the Garden and a grass-eye view that I enjoyed.
