I feel very fortunate to have found Rob Littlepage and the California School of Garden Design. He really opened my eyes to the possibilities and potential for one's garden, and also for the potential I had in a career in design. As in any educational experience," you get out what you put in", but with Rob, he matches your commitment and enthusiasm with his own every step of the way. I don't believe I could have found a better teacher or mentor.
