\"Sean's<\/a>My experiences at the Botanical Garden have been tremendously rewarding ever since my first visit last spring to its wonderful gardens and classrooms. Being a student here has been not just a creative endeavor but a personal one as well.<\/p>\n

NYBG has given me the ability to take the seeds of my design ideas, express them both verbally and visually, and watch them flourish. It has also provided me a sense of connection with my surroundings and the inspiration to share it with others.<\/p>\n

The courses have given me a broad understanding of the landscape design industry and ways to communicate my personal and professional goals. I am especially thrilled about the Landscape Design Portfolio Series<\/a>, the opportunity of seeing and hearing award-winning architects and designers.<\/p>\n

I used to get such a thrill when my NYBG Continuing Education Catalog would come in the mail; I would fantasize about all the enjoyable things I could learn. I say this in the past tense because now it’s just so easy to peruse the Continuing Education Web pages<\/a> anytime and find all the information I need about classes and instructors online. It’s easy to navigate, fluid, and reliable, making it so simple to sign up. And, I get an immediate reply so that I know that I’m registered.<\/p>\n

Trust me, NYBG is full of inspiration. Come and see for yourself—or check it out online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
