You can create a waterwise garden that is bright, brilliant, and colorful - with as much interest, wildlife and variety - and in some ways more - than any other garden. Meet Nan Sterman, your friendly backyard botanist and KPBS public TV personality who loves to talk about plants! Would you like a gorgeous and sustainable garden that's appropriate for our region and easy to maintain?
Let Nan design your dream landscape based on color, texture, architecture, and mood. There's nothing better than a fabulous garden tour with a knowledgeable and entertaining guide! Go behind the scenes with Nan to explore spots that most garden tours miss. Let Nan delight you with new ideas and inspire you with different ways of thinking about gardens and plants.
Whether you're a novice or professional, you'll go home having learned something new and valuable - and wearing a big smile. I enjoy the process of uncovering those needs, researching the best way to meet the needs, designing the solution, then making the magic happen.

Plants are everything to us.
They are what we eat, the fabric of our clothing and our building materials.
Medicines come from plants and fragrances, too.
Plants are the basis of the world's food chain, they keep our planet cool and filter pollutants from the air.
Plants make the oxygen we breathe and are the beauty that surrounds us.
Nan Sterman can't stop talking about plants.
Meet her in the supermarket and she'll tell you about the variety of peach in your shopping basket - where it was bred, the time of year it ripens, the best variety to grow in your own backyard and whether it needs another peach to pollenize it.

My computer long ago replaced pen and paper, but nothing replaces my interest and curiosity about everything involving plants and gardens, especially in regions with precious little rainfall (or snowfall).
My background in botany (the science of plants) and biology are the backbone of my work.
I write so readers can understand the concepts behind the content.
That's important since my goal is to empower people to be more than comfortable with plants; I want to inspire plant explorers and create problem solvers.

I design every garden as a personal space, carefully crafted to suit the owners' tastes, complement the home's architecture, and thrive in the site's growing conditions.
Each garden is individual; there is no one style or look, but every one is waterwise.
Landforms curve and undulate, directing and collecting water, banking it in the soil to supply plant roots.
The landform then becomes a stage with niches and platforms for displaying beautiful plants.
Efficient irrigation provides plant roots with just the right amount of moisture, without wasting a drop.

Each year, I lead a tour to see interesting gardens and meet wonderful gardeners around the world.
We go behind-the-scenes and explore places that most garden tours miss, like meeting tulip breeders in Holland, visiting pepper growers in Costa Rica, and discovering an ancient quiver tree forest in in South Africa.
We visit wholesale plant growers and food farmers, hike to see native plants in their native habitats, tour botanic gardens, research labs, pleasure gardens, private gardens.
Wherever there are plants, that's where we go.
