0:00.0	What is up everyone? Welcome back to our final episode with Rochelle Greyer, a
0:06.7	garden and landscape designer, a TV host, the founder of Pith and Bigger, and the
0:11.4	creator of these two boot camps, Garden Design boot camp and
0:13.7	planting design boot camp, which we've talked about or talked around in some way
0:18.2	over the course of this week. So what I wanted to do Rochelle in today's
0:21.8	episode is really just dive into both of these, including
0:26.0	you know, why you felt the need to create something like this in the first place?
0:30.3	Well, yeah, starting with why I felt the need to create in the first place.

2:00.8	about design they would be a lot more successful in their efforts of gardening.
