Instructor Biography: Billy Goodnick
Billy discovered horticulture in his twenties, studying bonsai and collecting house plants. Hearing the sage advice ‘take the thing you love most and make it your hobby,’ he shelved his career as a studio drummer and began his studies in horticulture. Billy has been the Landscape Architect for the City of Santa Barbara since 1987. Interesting work, but there’s room on the plate. He has been demystifying garden design for two decades, teaching Continuing Education classes and lecturing. He co-hosts ‘Garden Wise Guys,’ the sustainable landscaping show on CityTV18, and writes for ‘Coastal Woman’ and ‘Santa Barbara Homeowner’ magazines. Remembering the sage advice of his youth, Billy also drums for the local rock band, King Bee.
