The English Lady
Healing Our Planet One Garden At A Time

"Garden Earth" Lecture
     Renowned landscape designer Maureen Haseley-Jones is embarking on a statewide quest,
through her lecture series titled "Garden Earth," to reconnect people's hearts and hands with nourishing of Mother Nature's life
giving gardens.  Also known as The English Lady, Ms Haseley-Jones is a sought-after and
highly respected lecturer, writer  and
radio gardening expert
heard monthly on WRCH Radio Lite 100.5 FM by thousands of dedicated fans throughout Connecticut.

    In her naturally humorous and upbeat manner,  The English Lady will teach how each of us can oxygenate our environment and
feed our souls in a co-creative and symbiotic relationship with the Earth.  She will teach not only
how to create a beautiful garden
that flourishes
but more importantly how to maintain it  organically and without use of harmful poisons.  But even closer to her
heart. The English Lady will discuss ways in which we can,
through our garden's living spirit, become grounded in our bodies,
inspired to reach beyond them, and connect at a deeper level of our beings with the meaning and purpose of Mother Nature and her
changing seasons.

    The English Lady recognizes that now, more than any other time in our history, people need to make conscious choices about
their health, lifestyle and homes.  This is imperative not only for mankind, but our planet as well.  "We are inexorably entwined with
the earth" she says "People need to know that  
even the smallest gesture of a garden has positive effects and rewards on the
environment.
"

Home Living Connecticut magazine calls Ms Haseley-Jones "a charming Brit who designs some of Connecticut's most distinctive
gardens."

The New York Times says "one of life's most unexpected experiences is discussing manure with an English Baroness..."

Connecticut Magazine says "We've always assumed landscape designers to be such tweedy types.  Our mistake, there is nothing
tweedy or reserved about Maureen Haseley-Jones, aka The English Lady."
