Here is what past course participants say:
"I thoroughly enjoyed the Neighbourhood Habitat School. Ewa provided an excellent overview of the process involved in naturalizing my yard. Her passion for naturalizing yards and increasing biodiversity in our communities is very motivating." - Anne Anderson
"This course will provide you with everything you need to know to successfully establish native plants and increase biodiversity in your corner of the world. The instructor is super kind, encouraging and knowledgeable, so don't hesitate!" - Natalie Venslovaitis
"I really liked this course. It was well presented and each session clearly explained what was needed for a successful native plant garden. I think the concept of native plants being your "neighbors" is wonderful. It reinforces the need to see these plants, not just as pleasing decorations, but as useful neighbors in your gardens. The discussion forum permitted all of us to ask questions, share information and congratulate each other on our successes. I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to learn more about native plant gardening." - Lise Bois
"The course was well prepared, not intimidating, fun, inspiring and very informative. It didn't matter if you had acres of land or a tiny bit of yard, Ewa was able to accommodate the diversity of projects. " - Luci Dilkus
"This course is crammed with great information for anyone wanting to improve their outside space. Starting from the history of your site (what used to thrive here?) Ewa takes students through the process of building up your knowledge so that you can create a planting plan that works for you and the neighbourhood wildlife. Her advice helps with uncovering challenges and new ideas that you might not otherwise have noticed. Highly recommended!" - Gemma Barrett
"The Neighbourhood Habitat School, led by the remarkable Ewa, was an absolute revelation. I was initially intimidated by the idea of transforming my front yard, but the course made every concept easy to grasp. Ewa’s patient and kind teaching style, combined with her incredible talent for ‘noticing,’ meant the advice was always spot-on and personalized. She helped me create a plan that worked for my specific site, considering my available time, budget, and energy. I’ve come away not only with a beautiful, functional front yard that benefits native wildlife, but also with the confidence to tackle future projects. I can’t recommend this course enough." - Lesley Campbell
"The Neighbourhood Habitat School course helps to build your confidence in all things habitat restoration. No matter your site Ewa works with you to provide many different options and resources to help you to develop a garden that is sure to suit your needs. You get to learn and hear the experiences from others in the course. It also provides you with a great community to go to when you being developing your restoration site. The website platform used makes it easy for you to post pictures and questions for your new community to offer their recommendations. " Yvette Bree
