You'll leave with at least one next step and some tools for tapping into your vision at any time of year.

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.
