This class is so enjoyable! Kareen is so knowledgeable and endearing that students are engaged, material is presented in a variety of ways and you soak it up like a sponge! - Heidi Viers Kareen provided incredible guidance and information, but also put me in the driver’s seat and gave me the confidence to envision and build my new garden space. I no longer feel that all of my time is spent weeding and digging. Now I’m continuing to build a functional space, and it’s become so much more fun. - Susan Higgins |
I couldn't recommend more ANY class/workshop/consultation with this wise, funny, knowledgeable and effective teacher. Kareen knows her stuff and shares it beautifully. - Heather Baughman Kareen was thoughtful, creative and insightful in designing our dream space. We left our meeting with a beautiful, well thought out and ecologically friendly plan. She made a task that seemed insurmountable for us, feasible and exciting. - Lilia Tyrell |
