Design It to Dig It:

a spring garden mapping intensive

Live, small-group workshop (limited spaces) where we

complete your site assessment and garden layout together.

By the end of this 3 hour session, you'll have:
- a completed SWAPP map for site assessment
- Right sized the garden for your capacity, needs, & goals

- Identified the best location, plus gained clarity on your

site's talents and challenges

- Your bed and path layout sketched out

- Intro to plants guidance: which, how many, where?

You'll leave with the map, your larger garden design (paths and beds), and clarity about how to layout each specific bed.

Before you dig your garden, let's design it.
Drawing is thinking: thinking through your site, thinking through your capacity. The goal is not a fancy bit of art, it's a useful map.

Who This Is For?

This intensive is for you if:
You want to grow vegetables or herbs,

You want to plant soon, and
You want to get placement right.

You’re tired of starting over every spring

You're done wasting money on seedlings
You're tired of so many weeds (and of burn out)

You’d benefit from live guidance and accountability

Note: We will talk about groups of plants (ex: tomatoes), but this event is not for diagnosing pests or choosing precise seeds / varieties (ex: country peach tomatoes). This is about design and layout.

Who am I?
Molly Phemister

With nearly two decades of professional gardening experience — including many years designing and stewarding a public community garden and food forest — I’ve seen exactly where new gardeners get stuck and what helps them move forward.

In this masterclass, I’m sharing the core design principles I learned (both in the field and in landscape architecture school) that make the difference.

Investment:
$125

You are paying to work with me. Please choose a time you will be able to attend. The replay will also be valuable, but us working together is the best part.

Changing the human relationship with the landscapes that sustain us,
one gardener at a time.
