ALEX
“The course is 1000 times more valuable than buying the 10th book. It was exactly what I was missing. Your plant lists are genius. Among others, some of my 'aha' effects came especially through how to give a garden structure.”

“I just had to write to you again, Sarah!
My (master)plan had been to just have a quick look at the course this afternoon and, guess what, I'm done – with ALL the modules. I just couldn't stop! It's better than any (garden) love story, and that's saying something for me.
I'll start watching it all again from tomorrow and look at every module properly so that I can do all the tasks, bit by bit. Thank you for making it all seem like something I can do, rather than just dream of. I can't wait to sit in my new beautiful garden, with a cup of coffee and cake, and just enjoy life in my own little paradise.”
Janet
“I just devoured the course and have to admit, I’m a little sad I’m already done. I had so much fun listening to you, making notes and drawing my very own sketches! So much knowledge & everything listed & designed with great attention to detail – just wonderful! I want to thank you for all your hard (and great!) work. I’m incredibly excited about turning my gardening project into reality. Ever since I found your website and got the 'cottage garden bug', I'm much clearer on what to do.”
Lucy
“I thoroughly enjoyed working my way through Sarah's online course. In a very short space of time I have gone from feeling overwhelmed by all of the possibilities for my garden to having a better idea of what I would like to achieve and how to do it. I have found it useful that the videos are broken up into manageable length les-sons, making it easy to fit the course around your daily life. It gives lots of ideas, possibilities and tips to inspire you to create your own version of a cottage garden. Sarah's passion and enthusiasm for cottage gardens really shows in this course and I am looking forward to putting everything I have learned into practice.”
