[Lapg] New Urban/Suburban Ecoliteracy workshop offering - From Stumped to Pumped

[W Talaro]

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.
