He stopped once he'd reached the front of the class and pulled out his ear buds. He looked at the class for a moment, then smiled.<br/><br/>"Good morning," he said.  "My name is Randy Gardener and yes, I have heard all the jokes before.  I am a werewolf. I love growing things.  If you ate today, thank the farmer who grew your food, whether it was fruit, vegetables, grains or meat. This is technically Introduction to The Study of Poisonous and Dangerous Plants but we are going to start with Introduction to The Study of Plants.  The principles will apply across the board, so we will be learning the basics on things that won't kill you so that once you get to the ones that will, you'll know how to handle them."<br/><br/>He looked around the class, his eyes settling on one student.  "You look familiar.  Last name wouldn't be Rose by any chance?"  The small student blushed furiously at being pointed out but nodded.   "Father teach at Niagara Parks? I thought there was something a touch odd about him.  Explains why you're here.  Would you grab that cart?  I want everyone to grab one of the pots as Mr Rose goes past.  Once you have it, dump it out on the bench in front of you.  Get used to the idea of getting dirty in this class.  It is going to ruin your perfect nails.  You will wear gloves that you do not want to put holes in.  Everybody have a pot?  Alright them.  Dump it out on the bench.  Can somebody tell me what we're looking at?"<br/><br/><br/><div align="center">(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0588/0420/7803/products/PremiumPottingMix-pairwithpottedplants_1080x.png?v=1644877115)</div>
