Garden Planning Course

Course Material Release Date is April 11th, 2022. Course material will be sent via email along with a link for the live stream event you choose during purchase.

With grocery prices soaring, items not always available, more and more families are looking to provide a little bit of relief by growing a garden, and I couldn’t agree more with this decision. However, a successful gardening season starts with a solid planning season. While this course is from a northern gardener’s perspective, the content is useful for anyone and everyone looking to grow in any situation, location, size etc.
