What is the Designing Regenerative Spaces course about?

Landscape creators often carry deep ecological intent but face pressure to deliver fast, cost-effective results without compromising integrity. The gap between inspiration and implementation leads to scope creep, misaligned expectations, and projects that don’t fully realize their environmental potential. Without a repeatable framework, each new site starts from scratch , draining time and diluting impact.
