A few rain drops won't stop us but continual rain and/or a windy day will. (Due to some problems with well meaning amateur gardeners in the past, we can not accept novice gardeners unless they bring a well seasoned gardener with them. Additionally, we had to turn individuals away last year as we had too many people show up. Please email class@herbaltransitions.com or call to reserve a space. It is OK to show up last minute if you are OK with the possibility of being turned away if we reach capacity.)
