Steve Hernandez and I are pleased to offer From Stumped to

Pumped: Great Garden Results GUARANTEED. This follow up

workshop, like the site analysis practicums, builds on the

practical real world material covered in the introductory

Urban/Suburban Ecoliteracy workshop, which must be taken as

a prerequisite to From Stumped to Pumped.

 

This workshop is geared for homeowners and anyone else who is

ready to green their garden space as sustainably as possible.

It’s great if you have a yard, but From Stumped to Pumped’s

content will still apply whether you want a container, balcony,

or even a rooftop garden.

 

NOTE: This workshop is not geared for landscape and gardening

professionals. A separate sustainability workshop will be

offered to those in the industry.

 

Do you want to know the next positive, concrete steps to take

towards an eco-friendly garden/landscape? Do you want help that

is tailored just for you, your garden site, and your budget? Let

us help you take your garden or landscape to the next level with

greater success as you begin to work with nature instead of

inadvertently against it. Urban/Suburban Ecoliteracy is the

foundation. Now it's time to integrate the material. Knowledge

is good, but the application of that knowledge is where the

proverbial rubber hits the road.

 

In the *From Stumped to Pumped* workshop, we will be teaching

you the framework of sound earth-friendly design to ensure your

success in your garden or landscape and providing you with a

step-by-step map on how to achieve the beautiful, lasting

results you want. As you may recall from Urban/Suburban

Ecoliteracy, good ecological design is difficult to make obvious

because good design is invisible by its nature.

 

Each project brought by participants will be a case study. By

the workshop’s end, you will have an action plan in hand and

specifications to start to turn your project from idea to

reality. More importantly, you will have a fundamental grasp of

“how” and “why” that is specifically relevant to your success.

 

You won't want miss a thing because you'll be receiving:

 

* Your step-by-step roadmap to garden/landscape success

* A project timeline sheet (i.e. how long the project will take

and when to do what)

* Project cost range with recommendations for managing your

project in affordable bits

* Instructions on what to do for site preparation and

equipment recommendations, if needed

* Best practices recommendations for irrigation and drainage

* Hardscape recommendations and best practices

* Specific plant choice recommendations

* Maintenance best practices and frequency recommendations

* List of ways that sustainability can be enhanced on your site

* List of materials and plant sources/vendors

 

Because Steve and I are confident in and stand by the use of

ecological design principles, we offer what no other garden and

landscape industry professionals currently dare to offer: we

guarantee your garden success as long as you follow our

recommendations, design strategy, specifications, and instructions

in good faith. You will avoid problems that would cost you (more)

time, money, effort, and frustration.
