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.
