About Your Instructor

With years of experience in Oregon residential landscape design, I've learned firsthand that winter doesn't have to mean a boring yard. I've tested countless plants, made plenty of mistakes, and discovered the hidden gems that truly shine during the colder months. This course is my way of sharing what I've learned so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

My goal is simple: give you the knowledge and confidence to transform your winter landscape into something you're actually proud of.
