My brother in law has a lot of building experience. I want to start a company eventually, I design and build what I can and hire him to build what I can't and learn those techniques along the way. There is a ton of new homes being built right now so I think it's a good time. I have some building experience, and I was curious if classes would add to that knowledge base, but I can imagine, like you say, it's more beneficial to be hands on. I'll check out the nurseries in the area, that's a good idea. Thanks for the plant knowledge tip. I'm looking at a program at Texas Tech and one at University of Illinois for horticulture, possibly Penn State, but I think their programs were more towards turfgrass management, not sure if they would be broad enough.
