Heads up plant biz peeps! 🌿

There are only 5 seats left in my new upcoming “The Business of Horticulture” Course through Horticulture program. It’s going to be a great group of students! Class starts 9/24, is online and asynchronous for flexibility, with live office ours with me.

!!!
IF the course is full when you try to register, immediately add yourself to the waitlist as we’ll need 8 people on the list for me to open a new section (which I’m happy to do!) We’ll do that as quickly as possible. I limit students to 15 per section to make sure engagement and student interaction is manageable for everyone and you have a good experience. If you can’t make class but want expert guidance, or if you’re in class and want to get more personalized guidance along the way, you can also join my special concurrent group coaching for botanical businesses!
