    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.

    Payment is on the honor system, just know that kids with mental illness work here as part of their horticulture therapy.

    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.
