About the instructor:
Amanda Hill is a lifelong plant (and dog!) lover who descends from a family of horticulturalists. She founded Wild Roots seven years ago to share the magic of plants with her community.
About Dog Moms of Tampa Bay:
Based in the Tampa Bay area and founded in 2021, The Dog Moms of Tampa Bay (DMTB) is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that hosts events for dogs and humans at local dog friendly places. When we host an event, our large network brings together people and their dogs but we often ask the businesses we’re partnering with to donate a portion of their proceeds to a local rescue to support our mission.
About Pet Pal:
Our mission is to rescue dogs and cats from shelters that may otherwise be euthanized due to time limitations, illness, injuries or lack of socialization and training. We are dedicated to educating the public about the pet overpopulation crisis, the importance of spaying/neutering and responsible pet ownership.
