Nature's
Garden Class Fees
Weekly class fees are $15.00. We offer a Vibrant Life! membership
for $35.00 a month, which allows you to attend all classes offered throughout
the month - which averages $8.25 a class!
NOTE: If a weekly class focuses on food, and food is prepared, there is an
additional $5.00 fee due that evening from all Vibrant Life! members.
Fees are used to help cover the cost of the facility, food and the instructor.
Please
call, email or stop in to register for your favorite class! We will hold the
classes with or without you, but we sure enjoy having an estimate of how many
are coming. If there is inclement weather, we will reschedule the class, so
please call if you are uncertain.
Disability: All classes are held on the lower level of The Gardens Wedding
Center. If anyone is wheelchair bound, or unable to walk stairs, please
let us know ahead of time and we will gladly move the class upstairs into
the church so you can attend.
