NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Callie Works-Leary

YOUR INSTRUCTOR
 

My passion is helping you achieve the garden of your dreams with less overwhelm. I founded The Dallas Garden School in 2020 to meet a need in North Texas for comprehensive, science-based gardening education for the modern grower.

Whether you want to grow your own food, fill your house with fresh florals, or create a butterfly sanctuary, I'll be your guide every step of the way. 

READ MY STORY
"For years I felt like I was repeating my first year of gardening over and over again, as each year would bring different challenges. The information you provide is helping me go beyond being an experimenter, limited to trying new things each year, it's helping me become a better gardener."
- BJ
"I am completely blown away by all your resources. Your site has helped blossom in me a lifelong love of gardening. Seriously, thank you for making gardening accessible and rewarding. You saved me a lot of money in the past year, as I've learned to plant the right type of plants for our environment at the right time."
- Meredith B.
"I've taken several of your recommendations for plants and implemented them into my design. Thank you for all you do to inspire all in DFW and beyond to be better gardeners and stewards of the earth. "
