A FREE online class that gives roots to your garden dreams
Do you want to grow a bountiful garden, but feel overwhelmed by planning it out?
Or, have you gardened for a few seasons and felt discouraged with way too much of some vegetables, while others didn’t do so well?
This class gives you simple, practical ways to plan a garden with intention, and grow more success and satisfaction as a result.
Growing your garden dreams
We start out exploring the question of why you really want to grow a garden? To do this, we apply holistic thinking and offer several questions and prompts for you to go deeper into your goals. Most of our students discover there’s more to their gardening dreams than first meets the eye. 
“I loved this section! There is so much into why I grow a garden I hadn’t even thought of! Thank you!”
What vegetables to plant?
We invite you to choose what to grow based on criteria that’s important as a gardener and an eater. So many of us just pick crops based on what we like, which can lead to an uphill battle against growing conditions, pests, or timing. This class guides you toward choosing vegetables that you love to eat and that will do well in your garden.
How much and how close?
Finally, we answer everyone’s burning questions about how much to plant and how closely to space everything. Anyone who has grown zucchinis knows that sometimes more doesn’t always mean better. Indeed, you may be surprised at how much space any given vegetable takes up as it’s growing, or the amount of food it actually yields.
Whether you’re growing a small patio garden in a few containers, or your entire yard is a huge, fertile plot, this information makes the whole process much easier.
