Before You Plant a Single Seed, Join This Saturday’s Garden Workshop

This taste of spring weather has officially spoiled us. If you’ve already started mentally rearranging your backyard, browsing seed catalogs, or convincing yourself this is the year you finally “do it right,” I’ve got something for you.

Before you buy a single tool or carton of seedlings, consider starting with intention.

Goals in the Garden is a beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop designed to help you build clarity before you build raised beds. The premise is simple: gardening success doesn’t start with plants—it starts with realistic goals that align with your time, energy, and actual life.

Held in an intimate teaching garden setting, this small-group workshop focuses on reflection, practical planning, and creating a flexible garden plan that works beyond the first burst of enthusiasm.

You’ll learn how to:

Define garden goals that match your lifestyle
Identify what kind of gardener you are (and aren’t right now)
Create a simple, flexible garden plan
Build sustainable habits without overwhelm

Participants leave with:

A clear, personalized seasonal garden goal
A practical plan you can revisit all year
Immediate next steps
Confidence to start now and grow sustainably

This is the first session in the Beginner Gardener Workshop Series, but you can attend individually.

Space is intentionally limited to preserve the hands-on experience.

If this week’s sunshine has you dreaming of tomatoes, herbs, or even just one thriving container plant, this is your cue to start smart.
