When we decided to start our own garden, we had no idea where to even begin! Katie’s course is really a step-by-step instructional, which is so great! She provides many different options to fit everyone’s needs for their garden space. We especially love the real-time discussion forums where we can reach out and ask her a question.

Feedback
Katie’s Garden Planning Course is fantastic! If you’re new to gardening and looking to start a garden do yourself a huge favor and invest in this course!
You’ll save yourself so much time and energy in the long run!!! Katie has packed so much helpful information into this and laid it all out in such an approachable way.

Every garden location comes with its own unique environment but, my goal is to provide information that can be applied anywhere. While I am an expert at growing in cold-climates and provide some guidance for tackling short growing seasons (I live in zone 4, Minnesota), this course is appropriate for any gardeners.
Anyone could benefit from this course, whether they’ve never grown anything before or if they are a seasoned gardener. There’s always something new to learn! However, this course is largely designed to guide beginner to intermediate gardeners or those who have been unsuccessful and need some help.
Yes! If you are dissatisfied with my course for any reason, please contact me within 14 days and I will issue you a full refund.
Definitely not! However, the items that I recommend in this course are ones that I personally use and trust. I know they’ll help you be successful, too! If you feel that what I recommend doesn’t meet your needs, we can find an alternative in my private, students-only discussion forum. I’m here to support you and your unique needs!
Nope! Once you purchase this course, you will have lifetime access to the content and the private, students-only discussion forum. You can also download all of the course notes and workbooks to your computer to access anytime.
Are you ready to learn exactly where to start when it comes to planning your garden so you can save time, money, and focus on the right tasks at the right time?
Heck yes! When you enroll in my How to Plan a Garden course, I’ll guide you through everything you need to know to set up the perfect garden for you and your goals.
It’s time to ditch the overwhelm and floundering about.
Yes, you can find tidbits of free information on the internet, but there’s also bad advice out there.
In my course, you’ll have a clear roadmap you can to feel confident in from an experienced gardener and homesteader that you can trust.
