The class was really informative and I really enjoyed the hands on activities. Definitely demystified the idea of hydroponics and makes me really excited to give it a shot!

Great class for beginners. The instructor provided an excellent presentation and wealth if information and resources. We were also able to start our very own hydroponic window seedlings in the class.

I learned a lot not only about window farming but also about plants, nature, etc. from such a knowledgeable and innovative/creative instructor! Nick's passion and positive personality made the class engaging and enjoyable. I strongly recommend his class!!

Nick was great! Super knowledgable and very passionate about window farming which made the class that much more enjoyable. His enthusiasm has inspired me to start my own mini window farm- already researching supplies for a shopping trip the weekend :)

Nick was organized but laid-back and taught a great entry level class on hydroponics.

Very very interesting, with lots of good information and techniques. Really learned a lot, and was motivated to work on a project at home.

The class was really great. Very informative about hydroponics and a great explanation and demo on how it all works--even got to make a mini-system to take home and grow our own veggies/herbs. I really enjoyed the evening. Would recommend to anyone interested in alternative growing methods and meeting a very interesting guy.

Nick is an awesome teacher, and I learned more than I had expected - he has a damn impressive set-up. Plus, jalapeño chips. Definitely recommend taking his class!

I had a great time at The Green Suite learning about window farming and hydroponics. Nick was very organized, open to questions, informative and fun. He also answered many questions about living an urban lifestyle that is sustainable, especially for renters. Overall, I really enjoyed the conversations, lecture and information that I walked away with.

Interesting, practical, simple, and pretty immediately applicable. Also came away with one basic planter and seeds planted, so there should be no more procrastinating!

Nick was a blast to learn from and his "green suite" is a testament to his wealth of knowledge. The experience made something I've always been curious about really accesible & I walked away feeling like I was capable of recreating his set-up in my own home!

I was intrigued when a friend asked me to join her. Nick is a great teacher: fun and informative. We even walked away with materials to begin our own window farm. This is a great activity to involve my kids in as well.

It was a great primer course for window and hydroponic farming. I got a good sense for where I should start and important factors to consider when setting up my own window farm.

I really enjoyed this class. I feel so inspired to grow my own plants now. He showed us how to make a very easy hydroponic plant holder from empty plastic bottles. Plus he shared a lot of other green ideas, like apartment composting, solar panels, homemade flower planters and glass cutting (from empty wine bottles-he's very resourceful).

I feel like I definitely got more than my money's worth for this class. Nick is a wealth of excitement and knowledge and is willing to share both. He dabbles (pun intended) in so many things it was almost hard to stick to the topic of the class. But stick to it we did and I definitely left excited with so much new info to put to good use. I will be keeping an eye out for his future classes.
