I became a Master Gardener in 2007 but I 've been gardening most of my life.

Thanks again for the leads. I am personally doing 2 classes in August for the H&G Center. I may link them with the PPG to see what to attendance will be like. I will look at the community center as well.
Michele - I did meet John and I am personally talking there August 1st. He doesn't think the PPG could as they must be FREE classes - but I am personally happy to help fit his need of presenters! Thanks for the lead.
