I'll teach you how to grow a vegetable garden. Simple as that.
My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills to grow a successful vegetable garden all on your own. Once you understand some basic principles of growing food and have a little extra help from an experience organic farmer, I’m confident that your vegetable garden will be a success!
How does it work?
Step 1: Schedule an initial phone call with me to discuss your ambitions, experience and available space to garden.
Step 2: I’ll visit your home to see the physical space and identify opportunities and challenges.
Step 3: I’ll create a draft garden plan for you that includes how to prepare your soil, how to grow seedlings, where to plant each crop and much, much more.
Step 4: We’ll meet to review and revise the garden plan.
Step 5: I’ll offer hands on help to set up the garden and get your seeds started.
Step 6: I’ll provide ongoing assistance via email, phone and in-person help as needed to help you succeed.
The key to success is having the right mindset.
Gardening is all about problem solving in nature. You should expect unforeseen challenges to arise— these could be pests, bad weather, disease, mistakes, etc. Working with nature can be challenging but also very rewarding. Once you accept that that problem solving is a part of gardening, you will be ready to think critically and find solutions!
Think of gardening as a long term investment. Farmers and gardeners think in terms of seasons. If something doesn’t work this year, you may have to wait a whole year to try it again and it may take several years to finally get something just right. So be patient and accept the slow cycle of seasons— you’ll always have another chance that you can look forward to with gardening!
