"This class was so helpful and inspiring! ... I loved learning about good garden design, creating a base plans, and testing out different design plans. I am so excited to plant out my front yard (next week!) and welcome all the bees, bugs, birds, critters to my home!"

"I'm so glad I signed up for this class. For the last couple of years, I've fantasized about 'getting my backyard together,' but I didn't know where to start. ... I'm so excited to achieve the plan that I've dreamt up for my yard in this class!"

Martine, Washington, D.C.
"This course empowers you to create a home landscape unique to your values, vision, and desires. I learned so much... that will ultimately benefit local ecology and my family. And Zoe and Heather are awesome teachers committed to their students' success."

Adam, New Jersey
"Heather and Zoe have given me a basic understanding of landscape design principles that have allowed me, after many years of feeling stuck and overwhelmed... The homework assignments use our actual yard to work with, which has been really fun."
