As a garden coach, I get to work with a lot of new gardeners. And there are 3 mistakes that I consistently see almost every new gardener make. Even I made every one of these mistakes when I was a new gardener! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Sadly, I also see a lot of new gardeners almost give up (or actually give up entirely!) because of these mistakes. But, these mistakes can all be fixed! Here's how to avoid them or start correcting them so you can have the garden you've always dreamed about!

Who are we?
I'm Kaylee: a garden coach, permaculture designer and homesteader. Almost a decade ago, my wife (Lindy) and I said "farewell" the convenient life and set out on a mission to "grow food, live simply & cultivate happiness". We started a small 3/4 acre homestead in Idaho and learned everything we could about living sustainably and growing our own food. In 2020, we moved to the beautiful Pacific Northwest and began creating the 2-acre permaculture homestead of our dreams! And now we are taking you along for the journey with new videos each week!
