Note: you'll need to complete the learning styles handout from the online portion of this course and bring the handout with your completed results to the live session.

Part 2: In this interactive workshop, we'll explore communication as a process that draws on an understanding of yourself as well as your message.

We'll go through the basics of planning and effectively communicating a message by designing a gardening workshop together based on four learning styles.
