I provide organic gardening consulting by e-mail, phone, and text for those wanting to grow food in hot climates. In-person consulting may be available in Phoenix, Arizona upon inquiry, but photographs may prevent the need. I now have a blog that is complimentary for customers ​and loaded with photographs and bite-sized tips--tasty bits of my experience, research, techniques, observations, and more from over the last three years + 2021 of gardening in Phoenix, AZ for helping you to decide what you want help with and to formulate your highest priority questions. The now 200 posts should also reduce the amount of consulting that is needed and get the idea-wheel turning. One blog post contains consulting ideas/topics.​ Though set up as a subscription, you can purchase help for only one month by cancelling before renewal if you don't need more. You will receive an automated reminder by e-mail before the renewal date.

Patio - mediterranean patio idea in Los Angeles

This reimagined library, started its life as a gloomy, cluttered space with dark paneled walls, poor lighting, heavy drapes, and poor storage. The homeowners not only envisioned a lighter, more functional space, they embraced fresh ideas to accomplish their goals. Paint the wood walls? Check! Upgrade recessed lighting? Check! Re-stain wood floors to tone down the “orange”? Check! The wonderful collaboration coupled with the homeowners incredible artwork gave way to the light, airy, and, most importantly, functional space they craved.
