a red barn with a sign that says farm stand
Nina M.

Growing Grounds is a mid-sized farm offering a modest variety of homegrown veggies, fresh eggs (laid by the hens out front), edible herbs and plants, as well as some flowers. The farm is staffed by workers with mental illness which are getting vocational training as well as a supportive work environment. I wish they would offer a bit more variety of succulents and decorative indoor plants but I hear there will be some more of that come August. Definitely a great place to purchase starters for your garden. TIP: Bring cash or check - no credit card machines here, just an honor-system drop-box.

Great flowers and such at reasonable prices, and helping financially to those that are working in the gardens.

I JUST finished school here. I am a fully employed DA and could not be happier!…read more The staff is so incredible and worked with me every step of the way to ensure my success. I have sent several friends to this school. And they have been pleased as well. This is one of those 'Thank Goodness" moments in my life. Going to school and being a certified DA has already changed my life, and I barely finished school last week. My instructor was the most fantastic woman ever, I loved every class. I learned so much! I am very very VERY pleased with my experience at this school. Between work and being a single mom I didn't think I could do school as well, that was NOT the case!! People can complain all they want to about money and not finding work and blah blah, but its each individuals job to get out there and find work, you cant sit on your fanny and expect someone else to find you a job. Silly children. You get out what you put in. Some of us gave our all, an have success stories!

I was seriously considering going to this school, but after reading the reviews, I will look…read moreelsewhere. It is truly hard because I work a full time job during the day, and there is absolutely no night classes for Xray Tech with or without the MA portion. Very frustrating as I have to keep working just to live and I am an older lady wanting to further education myself and stay in the medical field. Thank you to everyone who did a review and helped me save my time and money. Respectfully,

Cheryl is an amazing hands on instructor. I couldn't have asked for a more patient and…read moreunderstanding educator to teach this profession. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the externship being a little frustrating to schedule.

Nothing against the instructor at all. I overall had a good experience with the way I was taught…read more We had a small classroom so everyone talked to each other and helped everyone out. We had Miss Robin. Amazing teacher, really did help us out and answered all of our questions. She worked hard to help us and her main goal which she mentioned many times was to help us PASS. Which all of us in her class did, with almost perfect marks. Only issue was with primavera. Last day which was our exam day. She was quite rude. Having people come in and out WHILE everyone was taking our final exam. Speaking loudly, and after talking to classmates, everyone was unhappy and thought it was inconsiderate. We deserve a quiet place to do our exam, we all found it hard to concentrate. Not only that but when I had politely asked if we could do the second half of the review for this course after we all finished our exam, she rudely responded. I was being polite. Thats why I found it even harder to have sympathy. We all collectively agreed she was being rude and had been even on our first initial encounter INDIVIDUALLY (when we signed contracts, forms, etc). Also, a lot of supplies and I mean a LOT of supplies ran out the last two weeks. The very last week we didn't even have gloves in Small or Medium sizes. I'm understanding that this is a larger class than they have previously had, but you should be prepared. We all paid good money and we couldn't even practice our draws properly BECAUSE we did not have gloves, ran out of butterfly needles, and much much more.
