"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

"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!"

"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." -

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!

"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
