My brother Andy was able to go today. He sent me a message and said he had a great time! I’m sad I missed it, but hopefully there will be another next year.
I was able to attend with my wife and kids. I thought it was great. My kids weren't too excited to go, but by the time they got home they were wanting to go look around our house on a treasure hunt to see what all was around. I handed my oldest my Peterson edible plants book that was shown to us and they were outside for hours. Last night my oldest found a small little oak tree that had gotten started in our yard and she was so excited to put it in our raised garden bed to give it a chance to make it through winter. We were able to determine it was a red oak and not a white oak from what was said in class earlier that day.
I'd highly recommend this to anyone. For the $2 per person for this, you're crazy if you don't do it next time.
