Recent reviews of Intro to Organic Gardening Class
- 5/5 from Katie Wilbert Norris, attended Jul 2026: Geri was amazing. I loved this class so much I would take it again and have been telling all my friends about it. She really customized the experience by taking an interest in every student, their unique gardening goals and their micro climate they’ll be working with. We learn so much, I left feeling really excited and confident about starting my gardening journey! We didn’t do any physical gardening but the wealth of knowledge we gained was substantial. Also, you get to hang out amongst chickens, ducks, and bunnies! And the garden there is so beautiful and inspiring. Couldn’t recommend enough!!
- 5/5 from Lisa and Byrne Mulrooney, attended Jun 2026: We really enjoyed our gardening class with Gerri. She tailored the class to our specific needs. We now have an action plan to successfully grow vegetables on our patio! Plus the setting is lovely. It feels like we were in a little farm in the middle of Venice.
- 5/5 from Maria Hummel, attended Feb 2026: Geri was amazing! Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to answer all our questions. It’s such a great informative class for beginners. I would highly recommend.

“Whoever creates a garden, creates happiness, ” has defined my life, beginning when I discovered my love and talent for gardening as a child to my trailblazing efforts in introducing eco-friendly, research-based edible gardens and landscapes to public schools, hospitality companies including resorts, restaurants, galleries and spas as well as private residences in the greater Los Angeles area, Malibu and the South Bay for over fifteen years. As the founder of The Cook’s Garden, my focus includes teaching, consulting, designing and overseeing the execution of edible landscaping and food production gardens for my clients and community. Working to strengthen communities, much of my work over the years has been pro bono to educators and non-profits focusing on children. At The Cook’s Garden, I concentrate on educating the community, not only in the art of growing food, but also in organic, sustainable and regenerative methods that protects and nourishes the whole biosphere. Through this education I hope to create a community of “good stewards” of the earth who will share their new skill with others eventually having a positive effect on our world.

The more I educate, the greater people’s focus is on health, fitness, nutrition and the environment.
