Testimonials
“I really enjoyed the class. It really helped me to understand the plants and how to care for them as they come out of dormancy. Mike’s knowledge of plumerias is over the top!” John
“I always love Mike’s presentations and take away some new information that I hadn’t heard before. I particularly liked your tutorial on root & tip rot. I think I better understand it and how to fix it. Thanks for doing what you do and look forward to another season of beautiful blooms.” Mary
