Feedback about Garden Circles

"Amy Wagenfeld's Garden Circle has been wonderful for my residents. What is especially unique about Amy is that she is able to engage each person, regardless of their functioning ability due to stroke, dementia, mental illness, hearing and/or visual limitations, etc. She is patient, caring, and creative in her approach to making the natural world accessible to all. I would highly recommend Amy Wagenfeld's Garden Circle to anyone organizing programs for people with disabilities."

Feedback from college course, Plants, Pets, and People

"This was one of my favorite classes at Lasell College. Dr. Wagenfeld always had a project for us to do and we never sat around doing nothing. She is an amazing teacher and this class was extremely interesting."

"This was one of the best courses I have taken in my four years at the college. The Professor was very well organized every class, and I looked forward to every class because we had a different activity/field trip/class discussion each week. I am a very hands on learner and the fact that we were out in the community on field trips, or having special visitors in our classroom or even our class discussions helped me understand the material we were learning much better. This was a great experience and I am glad I took the course because it really helped me understand the relationship between Plants, Pets and People and their uses for therapy and rehabilitation."

"This class was excellent, perhaps one of my favorite classes that I have taken here at Lasell College. Professor Wagenfeld is a great teacher and really knows how to engage her class. The fieldtrips were a plus and also all of the hands on projects. I would definitely recommend the course to everyone."

"The professor did an excellent job of intertwining the textbook material with supplemental readings and wide-ranging classroom discussions. Class sessions included a number of excellent relevant field trips and hands-on projects. I thought the course was excellent! Professor Wagenfeld got to know all her students well and knew how to challenge and motivate each of us. She is extremely knowledgeable about her field and weaves together both practical and theoretical aspects of the subject."
