Description
Let the green thumb gardening expert come to you!
One lucky auction winner will enjoy THREE 1 hour Culinary Garden Consultations with experienced professional Teresa Kao.
As a culinary gardening professional with over 12 years of experience, Teresa will bring a wealth of knowledge to you. She is knowledgeable in planning and growing culinary specialty crops, including veggies and flowers, lessons on garden bed preparation, seeding, transplanting, site design, and irrigation planning. I am happy to offer three on-site culinary garden consultations tailored to your needs.
This lot is a fabulous opportunity to get that help you've always wanted, but didn't quite know how to go about getting.
Teresa will help you get to know your garden and the plants you currently have. She can evaluate the plantings and advise on additional plants you can add to accent and enhance what you have, or suggest which plants should be moved or replaced. Teresa can also offer maintenance tips, irrigation assistance, fertilizing, and overall design.
*****Teresa can travel to your home, within 25 miles of Napa, CA. Each session is 1 hour (60 min). Date, time, and location of sessions are to be agreed upon by auction winner and donor.
More about Teresa: As a former Information Security Policy Analyst for the United States government, Teresa made the bold choice to uproot her life in Washington D.C. to pursue her true calling. Following her training at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center in Sonoma, California, Teresa continued to solidify her love of farming with positions throughout the West Coast, researching permaculture and educating communities of all ages.
Today, Teresa manages the gardening team at The French Laundry with expertise and enthusiasm. Each day begins with “Communication and collaboration.” She shares, “Take the tomato for instance, with thousands of available varieties, envisioning the right menu starts with selecting the right seed.”
Teresa holds a master's degree in Migration Studies, Social and Cultural Anthropology from the University of Oxford and a Bachelor of Science in Social Policy and International Studies from Northwestern University.
