Doreen Pollack's low water and low human energy use designs are creative and natural. She specializes in working closely with do-it-yourself gardeners and people just starting to use their yard for food production and respite from their busy lives. She has turned her own urban plot in a downtown Phoenix, AZ Historic District into a living example of what she teaches. Her front yard is now an edible garden where a lush bermuda grass 
lawn used to be. Rainwater harvesting systems channel and store rain, compost piles supply needed amendments to harsh clay soil and creative plant location maximize use of this neighborhood lot. She is often called the Garden Goddess!
