Monique Allen, Founder, CEO, & Creative Director of the Garden Continuum, is a master creator, interactive employer, published author, and fierce industry advocate. Over the last three decades, Monique watched as the growing commercialization and commoditization of the landscaping trade undermined the benefits of its increased accessibility to those looking to improve their land and their mental states. With this in mind, she founded the Life-Scape Method.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Monique’s aha moment to start her own business over 30 years ago
• The way nature can act as a powerful tool to regulate one’s self
• How Monique developed the Life-Scape method

“How can we look at business as something that feeds us, as opposed to something that depletes us?” —Monique Allen

As a lifelong gardener, business developer, and educator, Monique has dedicated her career to creating an alternative approach and sharing actionable information on how to spread a positive message, about how we can all improve our land, our lives, and our professional satisfaction through Life-Scaping and compassionate business building.
