[Lapg] [Urban/Suburban Ecoliteracy] From Stumped to Pumped workshop, June 26th

[Fruits to Nuts]

There are many things that DIY folks
can do for themselves, but there comes a point when you run into the limits of
your time, money, and skills. What you don't know that you don't know can cost
you dearly in dollars and cents, not to mention personal frustration. You might
be inadvertently destroying equity in your house out of ignorance rather than
building equity.


 
How much money do you spend on
plants that don't thrive and how many times have you had to replace them? How
much money have you spent on fixing your own mistakes? How much more
frustration and even failure are you willing to endure on a tight budget while stillnot getting the garden and
landscape results you want?

Do you want to know the next
positive, concrete steps to take towards a successful and beautiful
eco-friendly garden/landscape? Do you want help that is tailored just for you,
your garden site, and your budget? From Stumped to Pumpedis 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.

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. As the benefits unfold over time,
you'll discover that going "green" actually saves and generates
money. Urban/Suburban Ecoliteracy is the foundation for working smarter, not
harder. Now it's time to integrate the material in a meaningful way. Knowledge
is good, but the application of that knowledge is where the proverbial rubber
hits the road.

In the From Stumped to Pumpedworkshop, 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 results you desire.

Each project brought by participants
will be a living, dynamic 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. when to do what, how long any one task takes is up to you)
	* 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
	* Plant choice and cultivation/care recommendations
	* Maintenance best practices and frequency recommendations
	* List of ways that sustainability can be enhanced on your site
	* List of materials and retail plant sources/vendors
