Hi! I'm Eve Hanlin

I help do-it-yourselfers who are starting new projects to design their own landscape, have more successful garden projects (big and small), and make the world a better place with the opportunity they have to do some landscaping. 

My true identity? Honestly, I'm an introverted garden gremlin who lives under a mossy log somewhere deep in the forest. But every day, I crawl out from under that mossy log to teach landscape design and gardening. Because I LOVE helping people with their plants and projects. I'm a certified horticulturist, landscape designer, gardening teacher, and Master Gardener volunteer since 2011. 

I'm based in the beautiful mossy pacific northwest corner of the USA, though I help students all over the globe get their landscape design ideas on paper.

I’m your gardening guide, here to help. I'm excited to offer landscape design guidance in the form of online courses and resources: to guide do-it-yourselfers like you through the landscape design process. Welcome to Garden Project Academy! Can’t wait to see what you create!

Here’s a picture of my first garden project (at the age of 7)— I planted a birdseed sunflower in my old Sesame Street cup. I was so proud, I asked my parents to let me use the family camera to take a picture.
