Instructor: Carol Stuttard
Everybody loves a buddy, including many plants. Companion planting is when different crops are planted near each other to achieve certain benefits, including pest control, pollination, providing habitat for beneficial creatures, maximizing use of space, and to increase crop productivity. And it makes your garden more fun to look at!
In this class you will learn some ancient techniques and plant combinations to help build the best plant communities when planning your garden.
Organic gardeners know that a diverse mix of plants makes for a healthy and beautiful garden.
By growing plants with good companions, you bring peace and prosperity to your garden

About the Instructor:
Carol Stuttard is a Master Gardener, Certified Desert Landscape Designer and Adjunct Professor at Mesa Community College, where she teaches Organic Gardening. She was President of Scottsdale Community Garden Club from 2011 – 2012, where she still gardens on a 40’ x 30’ plot. Carol's garden is a nationally recognized low water use landscape and she is a huge advocate of using drought tolerant, desert adapted plants in the landscape.
Coming from Great Britain, Carol was forced to master an environment very different from the one she knew so she is more than up to the task of teaching anyone how to garden well in this climate.
