Hi Reader,
As the 2024 garden season comes to a close, I'm collecting ideas on how we can gather, learn, and plan for next Spring.
I'm excited to invite you to join my
Garden Design Winter Book Club.
It will be a chance to connect with fellow gardeners, gain fresh ideas for your spring garden, and enjoy the camaraderie of a community that shares your love for all things green.
Make the most of the off-season by staying connected to your passion and apply the garden design lessons in your spring garden.
Spaces are limited to ensure a quality experience for everyone, so I encourage you to sign up soon!

Too Busy to Read Books? No problem.
Join our Winter book club to participate in lively virtual discussions where we unpack the gems of classic gardening literature together.
I'll be summarizing the key takeaways and advice from each book. You don't even need to read them if you're too busy.
