TESTIMONIALS
|
"After many failed attempts with landscape designers and architects, Lucian & Anna Maria truly understood my needs to transform my garden to satisfy my desires to spend my free time working with plants and bees outside, while also making it a safe space for my elderly parents to enjoy. I did not realize how much food production it is possible with food forest design. I truly enjoy this space that has inspired so many of my neighbors and friends to transform their backyards also. These two changed my neighborhood and life."

" I heard about this young couple in my town that were gathering people to educate them on ecology, sustainability and regeneration, and I was curious about it. I went to one of their events, which happened to be a public presentation of the design projects of students they were training for 6 months. It had a tremendous impact on me and the people I brought with me. I hired Lucian to design my half acre suburban property and he did a fantastic job. He brought a student along to shadow his process and design with him; recently in 2025 I saw his student has a very successful ecological design business, creating lots of change in our community since then. The ripple effects are very beautiful."

"I met Lucian at a workshop on composting he was teaching for Lincoln University of Missouri on his farm. Lucian said he can help me improve my farm for free via the University program and I accepted. We do not use computers unless really necessary, so he helped me in person, via the phone and printed a lot of materials for me to improve my 10 acres farm. I have revived my 2 acre blueberry patch, my 1/2 acre blackberry patch, and 2 acre asparagus and vegetables production with regenerative soil practices, something I did not know how to do before, but it has become very intuitive with his help. He still answers when I have questions and visits often."
