Emphasis is on organic growing and native plants, although all landscapes are honored. Each session includes a soil test and up to two hours of time to discuss plans, plants and techniques. Cost: $75 in greater Concord area, $25/hour travel additional.

"Stand Up To Your Garden, Without Breaking Your Back!"
Many people take on too much when gardening or simply get overwhelmed when they start. I will share the techniques I used as a professional gardener to save my back, my garden, and my sanity! By using my body and energy wisely, I was able to operate full time until I was 7 mo. pregnant, so I know what I am talking about! As essential class for those with back problems or new to the garden.
"Raised Beds 101"
All the rage, every garden book talks about the advantages of raised
beds: better soil control, less compaction, fewer weeds, even more decorative! While all these are true, many are daunted by the prospect of building a frame and hauling loam. Using the priciples of sheet composting I can show you how to build a wonderful bed in a morning, and not have to take to your own bed afterwards! You can even plant selected crops that day.
Other topics that can be covered include:
- Using native plants in the home landscape
- seed starting
- composting
