Questions & Answers

Why Learn from Freeland & Sabrina?

Join us for an enriching and memorable gardening adventure in Napa.

"Over the past decade, I've had the pleasure of running Garden Design, first as the editor of the nation's top garden magazine and then by transforming it into a dynamic and engaging online platform. This journey has given me valuable insights into what passionate gardeners like you crave—deep knowledge and inspiration to take your gardening to the next level. When Rebecca Sweet introduced me to her favorite garden and her good friends Freeland and Sabrina Tanner, who happen to share a love for teaching others, it felt like the perfect fit."
