Biography: Doreen Pollack

Doreen Pollack, aka The Garden Goddess, loves Mother Earth and all her creatures, but especially all plants. Several years ago, after completing the Master Gardener program in Arizona, she realized just how simple it was to do little things to tread more lightly on this great earth. Doreen loves to teach people how to create an outdoor environment that fits their needs, from a place to recharge, a place to play, or a place to grow food. She enjoys showing people how to create sustainable environments that use water and other resources wisely. Doreen continues to learn as she teaches. If she is not teaching a class she is taking one! She just completed a course as a Permaculture Designer, and upholds the Ethics of Care of the earth, Care of people and sharing of the surplus (time, money material). She is a Desert Botanical Garden Volunteer, Board member for the Phoenix Permaculture Guild where she also teaches classes, co-manages a community garden, writer, teacher, and a former Certified Life Coach. She owns Down 2 Earth Gardens, a garden consulting business in Phoenix, AZ where she lives with Annie, her Springer Spaniel and 2 cats, Sweet Pea and Mischief. You can often find her hiking in the desert
