Prior Unity Garden

"Prior Unity Garden classes provide an excellent basis for how biodynamic gardening is achievable and repeatable; inspiring." - TS, Oakton VA

"Prior Unity Garden is a unique organic garden right here in the Vienna area. Debby and Russell are a rare combination of knowledgeable gardeners, landscape artists, herbalists, teachers, nutritionists --- the list is endless. I highly recommend them. Join me in taking some of their classes and participating in other activities that they offer." - MB, Vienna VA

"I used Prior Unity Garden to design and plant three beds in my yard. It was a wonderful experience. They asked a lot of thoughtful questions to make sure that I was getting exactly what I wanted, they were extremely knowledgeable about what could be planted and when and they demonstrated great flexibility in suggesting alternatives to the plan when I didn't like a proposed idea. Their research on what would work in my space and implementation was spectacular. They were supportive of my limited budget and didn't try to upsell me at all. They have created a work of art in my back yard and I never believed such a thing was possible! I can highly recommend Debby and Russell." - AG, McLean VA

"Prior Unity garden is an inspiration toward integrating healthy living ideals into practical life." - JW, Fairfax, VA
