We now have clear steps to realizing our property vision and a place to start. Kenton is a patient teacher and I'm so grateful for his expert help. I highly recommend you learn from him.
I don’t really want to give 5 stars, because that signifies perfection, but I am! Kenton is passionate, engaging, and easy to follow. Thank you for stoking what has smouldered in my mind for quite a while now.
Kenton made us feel like we deserve this dream, and we can do it! We can change our lives for the better and heal the earth around us. It is rare to find someone who just fits into your plans in a bigger way than you could have EVER IMAGINED! With GREAT LOVE and GRATITUDE
Kenton will make you evaluate what is important to YOU, and then show you how to design your own solutions. That skill is invaluable. At the end of the course, you will not only have your best solution and a mentor, but a colleague and friend!
In the face of uncertain times, I saw the need to change my life, so I took Kenton's course. I learned things you didn't even know you needed to know for my house design, utilities... even legalities! Add in Kenton's sense of humor, his wealth of knowledge, and abundant passion, and you got yourself a pretty damn good time!! I wholeheartedly recommend him.
I first took Kenton's workshops on edible landscaping. They were informative, inspiring, and honestly, life-changing. Then I designed my own 100% edible landscape then turned my design into reality. His courses literally changed my life.
