Wasn't that a movie about computer programmers?

No, it's a design method that helps gardeners accurately and cohesively create a natural garden that bridges the gap between wild and overly manicured. This introduction to matrix design takes you through the basic concepts, layout, plants, and management to get your feet wet in sustainable habitat design that's aesthetically pleasing to both people and wildlife.

"I liked how he connected what we do in our gardens to the overall health of our ecosystem. He provided facts I hadn't heard before and I walked away from the presentation inspired to make changes."

"Wonderful! Combination of knowledge, wit, and alacrity of presentation.... So interested in his topic that he made me interested!"

"He did an outstanding job bridging practical gardening with the philosophy behind why we need native plants in our landscapes. He had great photos, statistics, and personal stories."
