As a landscape designer with a passion for being involved with her projects, hosting the DIY Network’s ‘I Hate My Yard’ was the perfect fit for Sara. She loves to interact and help homeowners realize the opportunity in their exterior spaces. With a DIY attitude, Sara and her crew tackle tough backyards with the help of the homeowners to keep the budget in check. She guides homeowners through the renovation process by tasking them with fun, creative and aesthetically pleasing projects to take back the yard once and for all. Sara was born and raised in San Diego, California, and started at a young age with a passion for art, nature and an appreciation for anything living. She studied at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and received her Bachelors of Science in Landscape Architecture. As a college student, she immediately got her hands dirty in the field working different landscaping gigs, including being a forewoman for a landscape maintenance company. After college, she honed her residential design skills by working for a design/build firm. Sara eventually went out on her own and started her own landscape design business.  In 2013, Sara was asked to host the reality TV program, “I Hate my Yard” which airs on the DIY Network Tuesday nights at 7:00 pm and 7:30 pm.   

·         Special Guest Appearance Jake Reisdorf, founder of Carmel Honey Company

Jake Reisdorf is the chief beekeeper and owner of Carmel Honey Company, which he started as part of a school project where his teacher assigned professions to each student and directed them to research the profession and build a presentation on it.  While researching his assigned profession of website designer, Jake, 11 years old at the time, decided to take it one step further and actually create a real website. At that time, Jake had taken one beekeeping class with his Dad and thought it would be cool to design a website about honey bees.  Not only did Jake get an “A” on the project, but it inspired him and spurred him to start Carmel Honey Company. That was four years ago.
