Winter Sowing Workshop!
Get ready to dig in and discover the magic of winter sowing! In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to create your own mini greenhouse using a simple container—no fancy equipment needed! I’ll show you how to plant, care for your winter-sown seeds, and set them up for success. Best of all, you’ll leave with your very own winter sowing containers (plus the know-how to make more at home). All supplies are provided—just bring your curiosity and a love for gardening!"
10 Tips to Mastering Lazy Gardens
For every problem, there's a solution
"This new house we bought came with a garden but I don't know what these plants are or how to care for them."
"I have a small tree with a small hole in it. Should I fill it?"
"What can I plant under my crab tree?"
"My mom's garden is too big. How can I close that one and create a small patch she can manage?"
"Can you make a butterfly garden for our church?"
"How can I grow anything when I have (dogs/cats/chickens/kids) that like to dig everything up?"
"I want to grow fresh food for my toddlers but they keep pulling up/stepping on the plants."
"My granddaughter really wants to plant a butterfly garden. How do we start? What should we plant?"
Let’s grow together…
Plan
Success comes from thinking about the garden before starting it! Your coach will help you decide what to grow, draw sketches, measure spaces, test soil or build a raised bed, prepare before seeding or bringing home plants and protect the space from animals and children.
Plant
Welcome the new plants into your garden and place the seeds. Nourish and defend from threats. Take pictures of your growing babies. Ask your coach questions along the way. Schedule your coach visit to check on the progress and get specific direction.
Harvest
Enjoy your successful gardening! The challenges are behind you and the benefits are now. Reminisce on the sunny, rainy, hot, cold times. Remember how it felt to be out in your garden space. Consider what worked and what didn’t and if you’d like to expand your garden. Repeat the planning cycle for next year. Contact your coach with your ideas!

What's a LAZY GARDENER?
It's a person who values their resources: time, money and labor.
They've discovered the easiest and best ways to start and take care of their gardens by trial and error and the experiences their mentors share.
It's not that they don't work, it's that they work smarter and not harder.
