”I think the terrace space at theDesk was wonderful! It was easy to access and very pleasant. I also enjoyed the intro session that you guys hosted. A very good variety of crops were provided. The staff at theDesk were also very nice”

"I enjoyed having my own little planter and being able to get my hands dirty. It was heartening to see the plants grow. The farmer/helpers present on Saturday mornings were most helpful and full of information.
I joined the program to be able to learn with experts so I could duplicate it on my terrace. A great initiative for gardening enthusiasts.”
