We’ll take the mystery out of growing food, so you can focus on falling in love with gardening again.

Sometimes the frustration and loneliness of gardening can take the fun out of it. When you’re knee-deep in weeds and bugs make a feast of your prized tomatoes, it’s tempting to just give up.

By working with us through our intensive 8-week framework, we’ll solve the weeds, the pests, and the problems that make you feel frustrated. You’ll find yourself approaching your garden with JOY again when you have a plan that works for you.

Designed for Busy, Overwhelmed Gardeners

You’re not a bad gardener. You’re a lonely gardener. You don’t need to scrap it all and start over. You need a compassionate, experienced friend to help you troubleshoot. Like any other skill, gardening is best learned with a friend, a mentor.

What You'll Learn

During this 8-week guided, hands-on journey, we will work with you to transform you from an overwhelmed hobby gardener to a confident, self-sufficient food grower.
