5/5

I attended a workshop on pruning in the garden, and I'm delighted with the experience! The workshop was extremely informative and perfectly paced, making it a pleasure to follow. The instructor, who was clearly passionate about his work, shared his knowledge with enthusiasm and pedagogy. His explanations were clear and to the point. It was a convivial and useful experience that I highly recommend to all gardening enthusiasts, beginners and advanced alike. Thanks again for a great time!

Very good workshop, super motivated and educational speaker, you could feel he was very convinced and "in love" with his job. We learned a lot about respecting nature and bio-diversity.
