Kind words from our students

“In a discipline that is incredibly nuanced, Luay and Melissa pierce through the ambiguity and provide concrete advice, while also encouraging flexibility and experimentation.”

— Alexa H.

“Thank you for your clear and helpful video. The material was enjoyable to watch and read. I've never had such an organized garden plan before.

— Jessica H.

“I SO appreciate all the modules, educational material and social media posts. My garden is incredible - we have more produce (garlic, tomatoes, kale, chard the size of my torso and lots of other goodies!) than we can eat!”

— Julia M.

“Thank you so much for the excellent content so far! I've never gone through the process of planning my garden so this was really helpful.”

— Michael J.

"I can't even begin to thank you for your Master Class!!! […] the one place I can come for some peace and to center myself is my garden. It has never ever looked so lush so early and I'm truly thankful."
