Meet with Trish Valdez, The Knowing Garden (TKG) co-founder, for a customized inspiration session. You choose the topic(s) and whether you’d like to meet by phone or video.
For the last ten years, Trish has been working to create a school environment that incorporates the best of student learning and community. She has homeschooled her two boys through a combined 5 years of middle school with an appreciation for hands-on experience that follows their lead.
