GARDEN DESIGN

  “You have helped me to plant a garden.  There can be no bigger thing.”
– Tommy Rosen, founder of Eco Gift Festival, Venice, CA
.
Young Garden
  "Honestly, my front yard raised bed garden is more of a political statement than a hobby or food source.  But I did enjoy my hundreds of tomatoes this summer; and even if the celery doesn't make it, I can feel righteous with my water-guzzling neighbors."
– Sandy Young, Los Angeles, CA

 

   
Carmichael Garden
  "Not only can I absolutely taste and feel the difference when I eat the fresh herbs and vegetables from my garden, but also I get the incredible grounding and meditative effects of working with the earth in my own backyard here in Los Angeles... Joy."
– Jesse Carmichael, Los Angeles, CA

Ewiing Garden
  "I wanted an organic garden and Gardenerd help me beyond my dreams!"
– Becky Ewing, Torrance, CA
.
Respondek Garden
 


"The garden is the beautiful focal point as one enters the property. Now my six year old picks a few strawberries as she gets home from school. To have an array of fruits and vegetable at your finger tips is a convenience and a blessing. Thank you Christy!"
- Shalane Respondek, Malibu

Winship Garden
 

"The front yard was a disaster and now has an interesting architectural and functional presence.   The garden has also been part of a bigger transition in the way we have been eating, not only in foodstuffs from the garden, but with a shift overall in a more organic, somewhat less meat and smaller amount approach to food." - Joe Winship, Manhattan Beach

.
Wyler Garden
  I wanted a vegeteble garden and had the enthusiasm to do it myself, but I didn't know where to start. Gardenerd helped me layout my new garden and make the right choices with soil, plants and fertilizers. I'm so proud of my garden!
- Jane Wyler, Pacific Palisades

CONSULTING

"Christy is extremely knowledgeable - a technician of organic vegetable gardening - and a wonderful teacher.  Her high energy and good spirit encouraged everyone in my group to get in and give a helping hand in my garden.  I look forward to our "growing" relationship!"
- Felice Willat, Topanga, CA

"I had a great consult with Christy. We haven’t had a chance to implement her plans yet (as its only been a few days), but I have utmost confidence and a renewed excitement about our garden. She gave us a clear direction on soil conditioning, changing our watering routines and year-round planting plans, all in plain English. We've got some digging to do, but can’t wait to have a crop of fresh goodness coming up soon."
– Jamie M, Westchester, CA
