Starting a garden for the first time can be intimidating. Whether you are starting your gardening journey out of necessity, to save some money on groceries or if you looking to beautify your outside spaces with crops and flowers, you are in the right place.
Whether you’re seeking a little more beauty in your life or desire to grow food with your own hands and bring some of that inside to feed your soul, you’ve found the right place to connect.
I’ve been growing food with my family for twenty years, and some of those years have yielded less than spectacular results. We’ve gone full circle from a huge shared co-op garden with a friend to home-built, square-foot beds.
Gardening has served us at every stage of life.
We’ve canned beans, tomato sauce, and jellies because we had to, and in the later years because we wanted to.
Growing our own food wasn’t just something we did because we needed to. Learning to produce healthy, clean, nutritious foods was something I always wanted to do for my family.
Gardening brought us a million returns on our investment. It taught our kids where food comes from. The children learned to try new foods because they planted and tended them together as a family.
Gardening helped cut our grocery bill and fill the kids’ tummies with good things.
Now, the grandkids are excited to come over and fill up a bucket of cherry tomatoes, eat nasturtium blossoms, and watch the honey bees do their work.
Do you want to like gardening even more than you do now? Are you ready to grow more than house plants and tomatoes?
The Adequate Gardener has You Covered
Get ready to try new foods! You will decorate your outside spaces and garden beds with a few more flowers this year. I will help you create a plan.
We will talk about soil prep, choosing seeds for your growing area, raised beds, pests, and so much more. You don’t need to know anything about growing, but by this time next year, you will be celebrating your first successful year of gardening.
We don’t have to be experts to grow great gardens. I am an adequate gardener, and I am happy to be so!
So, we might not be able to can enough food to get your family through winter. I can’t help you propagate a new species or produce enough blooms for the farmers’ market, but together, we can grow some precious heirloom tomatoes that are going to make a sandwich you will never believe.
We are going to add beauty to your summer and confidence to your garden skills.
Harvest is right around the corner for you!
Over the next year, the Adequate Gardener Blog will share regular monthly garden activities to help you begin a home garden, right where you are.
You will find tips, tools, and printable resources to help you plan, dream, and grow foods you will love with success.
- Discover your passion for plants in a new way.
- Find vegetables you have never heard of and learn how to grow them.
- End up with too much zucchini. ( We all do!)
You are going to create a place of beauty that fits your heart’s desire.
