We often ask that you bring materials to class. You can find them in your garden, from a neighbor’s garden with permission, and sometimes even the common areas of your community. We find that asking the local landscapers for permission to clip a branch or two is often granted. Also, watch the nearby fields and roadsides for great material!
Examine the pictures below and begin to look for these materials near you – this is not a complete list and what you have in your garden is always welcome. Click twice on any image to see a larger image.
