It's super professionally done, yet very personal, incredibly comprehensive with great additional material and practical information. I'm thrilled!

Editor-in-Chief My Beautiful Garden | Garden Fun | Garden Ideas

Thank you so much for your online gardening course! I'm absolutely thrilled! The wealth of information, support, pictures, ideas, suggestions, and examples – simply fantastic! So lush, generous, diverse, and detailed… exactly what I like! Your passionate commitment is so palpable, as is the enormous amount of work that goes into it. A huge compliment to you – what you've created is incredible! Cheers to you, dear Sarah, and to the many wonderful gardens that can be created or continue to grow thanks to your course!

Manuela

After completing the online course, I'd like to give you some quick feedback: It was fantastic! Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity. Despite my 10 years of gardening experience, our large, mature garden was lacking that certain something. The course showed me what it's all about—especially structure and organization. I had a particularly eye-opening experience with topics like visual axes, borders, and tall perennials. Your planting lists are brilliant and immediately inspired me. Thank you again; the course is more valuable than any book and exactly what I was missing.

Alexandra

I bought your online course and I'm really happy that I invested the money in this course instead of plants. So much basic knowledge and everything is described, listed, and presented with such attention to detail—truly fantastic!

Susan

I've finished all the modules now, and I'm a little sad that it's already over. I had so much fun listening to you, taking notes, and sketching. My plan is set, and now I'm making my shopping list.
I would like to thank you very much for the great work.

Inga

Thank you so much for your fantastic online course! I finished it (pure version) today and I'm absolutely thrilled. I'd love to get started right away, because I'm not the most patient person myself, and especially not when it comes to dream come true...

Your dahlias grew beautifully for me! I had some from other suppliers, but yours were absolutely top-notch in terms of growth and blooms.

Sandra

Thank you so much for your wonderful tips! Your tulip bulbs were a dream. I enjoyed the magnificent sea of ​​flowers every day.

Edith

I thought long and hard about whether to treat myself to a rose fork from your shop. I ordered yesterday, and today it arrived – lovingly packaged, as always! Thank you for always making me feel appreciated and valued as a person.

Alexandra

Thank you for your inspiration and the beautiful images you continue to share. My path to an enchanted, lush garden is currently going deep and touching many inner levels. The cottage garden teaches so much for life: letting go, relinquishing control, allowing abundance, seeing beauty, and learning to enjoy. Thank you for the impetus for this process.

Annika

My dahlias from you turned out huge – beautiful and with so many flowers.

Live

Dear Sarah, thank you for your incredibly beautiful seeds. I've already ordered more tulips and more for spring.

Kathi

You simply have the most beautiful dahlias. I'm so happy about them!

Daniela

I just love everything I have from you – especially the dahlias.

Regina

Your dahlias are really amazing.

Nico

I just ordered from you again, dear Sarah, and I'm really looking forward to January so I can order more dahlias. I was so impressed with your dahlias this year – they're truly perennial bloomers! Thank you for the wonderful selection in your shop.

Freya

This morning I was telling my husband about you. We were standing in the garden admiring the tulips, and I said, "Honey, we need more of these!" Now I see your email—that's a sign!

Susanne
