Green Thumb in an Hour

Online Course

(What I wish I knew from day one!) How to create a low-maintenance
garden bed + landscape

An intro to gardening

Practical ● Ecological ● Low-maintenance ● Budget Friendly

My first garden project was NOT a success. I planted high maintenance plants, battled weeds, and the only plants that survived were basically weeds, themselves.

(Proof)

But I was obsessed. I started devouring gardening resources and piecing together the basics. Trial and error. Books. Eventually professional trainings.

Occasionally I'd learn something new and try not to yell, "WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE JUST SAY THIS SOONER?!"

Or, "Of all the one billion gardening resources in this world, why don't people talk about THIS more?!"

I've been gardening and working in the industry for 15+ years now so I've learned a lot. I am now the official "plant person" in my circle. When a friend asks for help learning to garden and we sit down for coffee, this is the one-hour-long introduction to all the most important basics that we go over (Except better, because it's edited and curated to efficiently share what you need to know to turn your yard into an oasis)

ONE HOUR.
THE MOST IMPORTANT BASICS.
HOW TO LEARN MORE.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Money saving approaches

The basic tools you'll need

How soil works

How mulch works

How weeds work

What to do about pests and diseases

How to water plants

Right plant, right place

Naturally, I don't promise to teach you everything about gardening in just one hour. Every subject listed above could be its own course! Some people spend years studying each area!

But when you're new, I know it's hard to know where to start. What's most important. Where to go when you want to dive deeper.

So that's my mission: to provide context, resources, where to start, and where to go next. Common mistakes beginners make. All with a practical, ecological, low-maintenance, and budget friendly approach.

This is an online, evergreen course (so you can watch it any time). It includes about an hour of video recordings covering the gardening basics that I wish I knew when I first started.
