Big Garden Goals & Daily Garden Gifts

If you are gardening this year along with me, I hope it is going well!  Gifts from the garden have been daily lately, and it truly is so magical. Curious what it looks like? It only gets 5 hours of sunlight but I don't let that stop me!

 I have some big garden goals for my Ferndale backyard that I hope to start working on this fall 

• Goal 1: Replace the grocery with one thing at a time. This year it has been herbs! We are so close to kale but I didn't factor in saving some for the winter months (it freezes really well) so we have only replaced it temporarily

• Goal 2: Add more fruit trees into our space - cherry and more apples are on my list!

• Goal 3: Add a bee hive and chicken coop (this is kind of going full urban homestead, but we are really excited about it)

• Goal 4: Add more garden beds

What are your big garden goals? (really, would love for you to share with me!)

 Maybe just getting started gardening is one? Maybe you try to add a perennial edible this year like berry bushes? 

Where ever you are at in your gardening journey, I hope it brings you as much joy as it does to me!

Daily Garden Gifts

I like to harvest from my garden as needed, which is just about everyday depending on what im cooking or preserving. 

Here is what it looked like for me this past week: a cut flower bouquet, shishito & banana peppers, plenty of herbs, calendula, and 5 pounds of potatoes! 😳

Need help learning everything that the seed packets might be forgetting to tell you?

If you’re setting up your first raised bed—or you’ve tried gardening before and felt overwhelmed—you don’t need more hacks. You need a clear, simple framework that makes sense for your life, your space, and your season.

That’s exactly why I created my free mini class:

🌱 The Garden-To-Table Jumpstart

Inside the class, I’ll walk you through the three things every garden needs to succeed:

A solid setup, the right timing, and small moments of consistency.

These are the pieces that gardeners often learn the hard way, and they’re also the pieces that unlock ease and confidence—especially for beginners.

In this free masterclass, you’ll learn:

• How to design a raised bed setup that actually works (so you’re not fighting your garden all season)

• What to plant when here in Michigan, and why timing is everything

• Why a few minutes of attention truly makes the biggest difference

• The exact steps I teach beginners so they can stop Googling and finally feel sure of what they’re doing

If you want your raised bed to feel fun, productive, and doable—not confusing—this class is the best place to start.
