Instruction Course at School of Ranch

Become a Trainer

You'd be amazed at how many people don't know what you know. Let us help you put your know-how to work.  We'll help you to create the workshop, teach you to run it, promote it, handle ticketing, facilities, and insurance, and then pay you to share your stuff with your neighbors.  How sweet is that?

Sharing The Green

 For hard skill workshops - welding, machine repair, and construction - you earn the greater of $65 an hour  or $50 per attendee.  For soft skills workshops, we split the revenue with you after our direct costs.

Beth's life is one big experiment.  Before leaving her artist career and moving here from Ohio six years ago, Beth studied up on desert gardening. On arrival, she became the garden department manager at a local retailer.  When her suggestions to stock climate appropriate plants went nowhere, she started High&Dry GardenWorks, her own lab for propagating plants that can thrive with limited water, excessive sun and wind, and deer.  Under High&Dry, Beth is rehabbing her non-irrigated 10 acres with natives,  maintaining her “Wildlife Habitat” and “Pollinator Pathway” certifications, and building bluebird nesting boxes.  Beth says High&Dry is about making a difference, by sharing her failures as well as her successes.
