Your instructor
With over a decade of experience cultivating and sculpting green spaces, I'm excited to bring a wealth of practical knowledge and a passion for the natural world to the Landscaping/Gardening course. My journey began with a hands-on role in a local nursery, where I quickly learned the value of each plant's unique requirements for thriving, leading to a robust career designing and managing diverse garden projects that range from urban oases to sprawling rural retreats.
As an educator and lifelong student of horticulture, I'm deeply connected to the ever-evolving practices of landscape design and garden management. It's my belief that a great teacher not only imparts knowledge but also inspires curiosity and respect for the environment. Combining the science of botany with the artistry of layout and design, I aim to empower my students to create sustainable and aesthetically pleasing landscapes. Sharing the magic of turning seeds into blooms and transforming empty plots into vibrant ecosystems is a privilege that fuels my dedication to this course and to each of you, my students.
