The entire course is go-at-your-own-pace. When you join the Regenerative Backyard Blueprint, you get instant access to all of the lessons and modules. They are recorded so you can watch (or rewatch) on our own schedule. There are 7 video-based modules, each containing between four and ten bite-sized (read: 10 minutes or less) video lessons, in addition to many skill tutorial videos. I made them this way so that you can watch when you have a moment, and don’t need to carve out hours at a time to slog through the materials! I want you to take your time, to implement as you learn, to watch and re-watch as many times as you need! You can take five days or five months! You have lifetime access to the course materials. Everyone’s journey through the Regenerative Backyard Blueprint will look a little different and that’s a-ok!

You can apply the patterns of working with water, soil, and plants to any climate. A few of the water strategies and plant palettes we discuss will be most applicable to USDA Hardiness Zones 5b-9a, or analogous temperate climate zones, but I will teach you how to go about assembling a plant palette regardless of your climate.

Yes! You will have live access to me through our group coaching sessions, and also have an opportunity to connect with other students facing the same challenges. Additionally, you can ask questions in the RBB Community Forum, to which my team and I will respond regularly. 

You get instant access to the course materials and bonuses when you sign up, and it’s your for life! If you join now, it’s yours forever. And, we update the content periodically, so that includes any future updates!

If you went the professional-design route, you would likely be looking at a price tag of $4,000+ for the design work, and then the cost of implementation, which depending on the size and extent of your installation could be anywhere between $10,000 to $80,000+! Many of our students want to better understand how to sustainably manage their landscapes, but aren't capable of doing the physical labor. With RBB, since you craft the plan, and understand how it works and the issues it’s addressing in your yard, you can decide what you are able to do yourself (like buy the plants, or amend the soil with compost tea), versus when you’re better off enlisting someone’s help (like building patios or raingardens). Knowing what to do and why means you can move forward with a local landscaping company if needed, without sacrificing the regenerative understanding you’ve gleaned from the class.

Absolutely! This is the same process and pattern-to-details approach we use for all of our clients, whether 1/10th of an acre in the city, or a 100-acre farm in the country.

No. The Regenerative Backyard Blueprint will begin with the basics, and layer on more complexities as the course progresses. And, I'll be here to support your learning journey for any questions that arise!

Absolutely! I teach many methods that you can do for free or nearly-free. A small budget won’t stand in the way of making a big impact, and I’ll show you how!

Yes! In addition to teaching you low-to-no-cost methods to begin your garden, what you learn in RBB can be applied to any landscape you steward in the future, and you have lifetime access to the materials.

Permaculture is a portmanteau of the words “permanent” and “agriculture” that points to creating lasting and productive systems that yield food, fiber, and fuel year over year. Permaculture as a design methodology can be applied to any system, land-based or otherwise. How permaculture is applied changes depending on the context. Fundamentally, permaculture seeks to integrate human needs and activities with the needs and yields of natural ecosystems. For urban/suburban dwellers, this looks like three primary focus areas: restoring the water cycle, building soil fertility, and cultivating productive and native plant communities.

RBB is not a Permaculture Design Certification. After teaching 14 Permaculture Design Certifications, I created this course because I have seen too many students get overwhelmed by theory and stuck in "analysis paralysis" mode. As opposed to a theory-heavy PDC, the Regenerative Backyard Blueprint takes the most relevant aspects of a PDC, combined with the experience of working with thousands of real clients on projects, and teaches you actionable, refined techniques you can go out and do today, taking years of guesswork and trial-and-error out of the equation.  

Yes, when you finish the class, we can provide you with a certificate of completion. Some students use these for continuing education credits.
