"Anyone who thinks gardening begins in the spring and ends in the fall is missing the best part of the whole year; for gardening begins in January with the dream." - Josephine Nuese.

One thing that always keeps me grounded is being around plants: in the garden, on the porch, even indoors.

This month, I am offering a free online class called: Planting on Purpose: How to Know What to Grow.
We'll talk about:

  • What plants will work best in your space
  • Tips to help you get set up so you can enjoy growing, harvesting and learning as much as possible during the season.
  • How to map out your dream garden and make sure you don't let this season pass you by!

Register at the link below.

Some seed companies are already selling out of stock or putting limits on ordering, and last season supplies like raised beds and even bags of compost or mulch were sold out really early!  Dreaming up and creating a plan now is key, as is learning about options and resources to support you and the ecosystem this season.

Garden Dreams & Design from the Heart
This workshop is available now upon request! Please contact me for more info.

What attendees are saying:

For those embarking on a garden project, Garden Dreams & Design from the Heart is a uniquely creative approach to the question of “Where do I start?”


It allowed me to clarify my wants and needs by using meditation to visualize not only the way I want my garden space to look, but also how I want it to make me feel and what further purposes the space can serve. It took what was an an anxious sort of energy I had about planning a garden and turned it into energetic optimism.

Especially helpful is Lauren’s gentle and encouraging approach which opens up space for creativity, intention and action. I now have a clearer understanding of my garden goals and specific next steps to take.
