John Foster Loves to Garden!

John Foster is passionate about his work in horticulture, and sustainable organic lifestyle practices whether in an advisory or “hands on” capacity. He is a consultant who has worked together with City Departments, non profits, private corporations, and individuals to create and support healthy organic landscapes. The emphasis has been on low water and energy usage. His expertise and temperament have proven to be of huge value in working together with teams and individuals in the creating, and advising of sustainable programs and gardens.

John is passionate about growing food, and has been working the land all his adult life in one capacity or the other- farmer, master gardener, horticulturist and teacher. He has created beautiful gardens all over California and is a sought after gardening consultant. Recently he has been involved in creating school gardens and holding workshops in schools for the children, teachers and parents, as well as holding  "Grow Your Own Backyard Organic Garden Workshops" for the public.

His passion is actually a gift.  Everyone who observes Johnny at work can see that he has a special understanding and connection with the plant world, a creativity and wisdom which is the result of many many decades of experience.

John Foster is not only a landscaper, but an artist!  He creates environments that are not just inviting to us, but also to the butterflies and birds that have made our yard their home. There's a magical quality to his work, it's like entering a special world. We are so very appreciative of his talents and his wonderful care for nature.
