Peer Review

Feedback I received was to include a cost information session, which I hadn't thought about.

I will put a table or another image of the gardens there, maybe in a horizontal format so that it adds some contrast. I got a lot of good feedback.

I will help a friend add her phots into InDesign since I figured out how to keep quality high when entering into the program.
