Perhaps you've wondered what it's like to savor a succulent tomato freshly plucked
from a vine you've planted yourself. Maybe you've envied your neighbors' lavish flower
and vegetable gardens and wondered if you, too, possess a green thumb. You can find
out by registering for beginning gardening classes held each Wednesday evening
throughout March and sponsored by the Expert Horticulturists Society. All ages may
attend the introductory-level classes, but pre-purchase of the Expert Horticulture's
comprehensive manual is required. Read the first three chapters prior to the first meeting,
and bring along a complete set of gardening tools and gloves.
How might the author have misjudged the audience?
Many potential participants would not necessarily be interested in growing tomatoes or flowers in the gardens that they would establish.
Those who would be most interested in gardening would be more likely to attend meetings on weekends rather than on Wednesday evenings.
Beginners uncertain of whether they will embrace gardening are unlikely to purchase gardening supplies and a book on the subject in advance.
