For gardeners and DIY landscapers, the perennial (pun intended) challenge is to have the plants that you like thrive. It is hit-and-miss if 1) you do not know what you are doing, 2) you have just enough knowledge to be dangerous, or 3) you are pushing the boundaries of your knowledge through experimentation.

Conventional garden design classes teach principles of design and about specific plants that you might use in your own gardens, but they often do not teach you what those plants need to thrive. Gardening classes on the other hand will teach you techniques and tips that will enhance your success but will not necessarily give you specific information tailored for your particular garden. (By the way, broad one-size-fits-all advice is well meaning but it fails for this very reason. Every site is different, so each deserves recommendations that are tailored specifically for you and your garden/landscape.)

Is there a way to eliminate garden trial-and-error with plants? Absolutely! This is what we want to offer to you because there is indeed a logical, replicable system to boosting the odds in the favor of success.

The key to:
• Reducing water usage for gardens and landscapes
• Sharply reducing plant losses
• Saving time, money, and energy in your garden or landscape
boils down to one very important strategy – match the needs of the plants with what a garden or landscape site provides.

In this two-part workshop, you’ll learn a system to implement this strategy. You will also learn the hows and whys behind that system that make it work. Just think - you could spend less effort and money on guessing, suffer less heartbreak from losing cherished plants, and spend more time enjoying the fruits of your garden and landscape success more consistently.
