Instructor: Robert Bowden

When you’re just starting out with gardening, it can seem like there’s so much to know, and you’ve got a thousand questions. The more you garden, however, the more you’ll learn about what works and what doesn’t. But for now, let Robert Bowden share his list of basic gardening tips to help you with some of your most common gardening questions. This is a very popular class and the number of participants is limited so be sure to sign up early.

Robert Bowden recently retired as Executive Director of Leu Gardens after nearly three decades. Earlier in his career he was the Executive Director of the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Director of Horticulture of the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, and Assistant Director of Old Westbury Gardens on Long Island. He is the author of many books including Florida Fruit & Vegetable Gardening: Plant, Grow, and Harvest the Best Edibles and the Florida Top Ten Garden Guide. He also teaches several horticulture classes in the Science Department at Valencia State College.
