Client Reviews on past Dolce Vita Events:
"Such a wonderful feeling to see these little sprouts! Seeing my healthy blooming garden is so satisfying! You start by planting the seeds & watering it every day, feed it nutrients & fertilizer, bringing it into sunlight & darkness depending on what’s needed, prune & cut to have more growth, and watch your garden grow with pride. It’s very therapeutic!"

“Never thought one day I will seriously start my own urban gardening journey inspired by the sharing from these wonderful people in our Plant Support Group. I never cared for any plant at any point in my life! I had a successful first attempt to propagate and I think I will never run out of herbs from now on!”
