Four Steps to Garden Success in the Gardenary Pathway

About five years ago I started my first gardening business called Rooted Garden. Based in Houston, Texas, my company goes in and helps clients create their own raised bed kitchen gardens. After helping so many clients and learning what it really takes to help someone learn how to garden from the ground up, I started Gardenary in 2017. Gardenary is committed a hundred percent to helping beginner gardeners grow to experienced gardeners in their own spaces. Gardenary does this through ebooks and online courses and garden coaching. So if you're here to take your gardening skills to the next level, you're in the right place. After helping so many gardeners start to learn to grow in their own spaces, I developed a Gardenary path to success in the garden and I want to share that with you here today and tell you how you can find more resources at each and every level in the path to get your own success in the garden.

Growing herbs

So step one in the Gardenary pathway is growing herbs. You can grow a ton of herbs, even in a small space. Herbs are super forgiving, you can cut from them again and again, and they really are the best way to get started in your kitchen garden. If you're a beginner gardener and you want to get started, and you don't want to kill plants or feel like you don't have a green thumb, herbs are the way to go. If you're an experienced gardener, but you've never really given herbs a shot, you got to try it. That's step one in the Gardenary pathway, growing herbs.

Salad Greens

The second step In the Gardenary pathway is growing salad greens.

Salad greens are actually the way that I got started having lots of success in the kitchen garden and it's what I've seen so many clients and students have success with first or second in their own garden spaces.

I love growing salad greens because almost all of them are cut and come again. You know what that means? You can cut them and they'll come back again and then you can cut them again and again, it's pretty amazing.

So I like to say that most of you can grow six months of garden salad from your own space. If you're in a really hot or warm climate you're going to be doing this in the colder parts of the year from say October to March, and if you're in a cooler climate you're going to do this in the warmer parts of the year, from say March to October.

No matter where you live, there is a way to grow tons of greens in your own space and that is step two in the Gardenary pathway, growing your own salad greens.

Raised Beds

Step 3 in the Gardenary pathway is setting up a full raised bed kitchen garden. So raised beds are totally our thing at Gardenary. I love raised beds, raised beds is what gave me my success in the kitchen garden. In fact, I wrote a whole book about it called Kitchen Garden Revival.

So step three is literally building and setting up a beautiful raised bed. So we do raised beds that are at least say one foot tall. These are two feet tall. And then we also include trellises. In a full kitchen garden, you can grow herbs and greens, step one and step two, but you can also grow so much more! You can include root crops because your raised bed gives those crops lots of space to go down and you can grow fruiting crops like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and pole beans. All these things will fit inside your raised bed kitchen garden. So this is step three and a great setup is the key to success for step 3, and we will teach you how to do it here at Gardenary. 

Garden Coach Society

If you've read this far, then you obviously have a thing for gardening right?

If you're anything like me then you've had the thought, “is there a way, could it be possible, that I could actually earn a living gardening?” Well, for you and for others like you, who are thinking, “is there any kind of way that I could have a business and make money by doing something I love?” Then step four is for you.

Step four in the Gardenary Pathway is garden coaching. Garden coaching is where you take your own experience and your own knowledge of the garden and you share it but you don't just share it like for free just walking around giving advice or making YouTube videos. You actually share it in a profitable way by setting up a garden coach business.

The Garden Coach Society was created with this very idea in mind. The Garden Coach Society trains, equips, and certifies you to set up your own garden coach business right where you live. We believe that there's always a freshman class in the garden. You know what that means?

There's always somebody who's a freshman, someone who knows less than you do. There's somebody that's waiting to learn all the gardening lessons you know in your own community.

So we'll teach you how to create your garden coach business here at Gardenary and will even help you market it on the Gardenary platform.

Welcome to Gardenary. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced gardener, we've set up Gardenary to bring you to the next level in your garden experience.

I'm so excited you're here. My passion is literally to see a generation of gardeners all over the world that are finding the pure and simple joy of picking a little bit of food from their own backyard daily.

So thanks for joining Gardenary.

Let's get started.
