Gardening Courses New York

Interestingly, despite being categorically one of the coolest cities in the world, we couldn't find as much as we'd like on New York gardening communities. We know that there are lot of you out there in Manhattan, because we've seen some fantastic creative gardening in city spaces. But we'd definitely like to see and hear more of our New York gardening friends. What New York Gardening Courses have you done? Are there horticultural courses in New York you can tell us about? Come and share your gardening knowledge with us here at MyGardenSchool - and we'd love to have you as students at our virtual gardening school. See more about our gardening courses on offer here.
