Made for Beginners, By a Beginner
I'm not a horticulture expert. I'm figuring this out just like you are which means I explain things in plain English, not gardening jargon.
Low-Maintenance Focus
Every plant recommendation, every design choice, every tip is about creating beauty without creating work. This is for women who want gorgeous gardens, not a second job.
Visual Planning Tools
You'll get actual worksheets where you can sketch, color, and plan your garden before you spend a single dollar on plants. See it before you plant it.
Zone-Specific Guidance
Starting with Zone 5 (where I am), you'll get plant recommendations that will actually survive in your area. No more buying plants that aren't meant for your climate.
Learn As You Grow
This workbook grows with you. Use it to plan your first garden, then come back to it year after year as you expand or redesign.

Absolutely! I'm a beginner too—that's exactly why this workbook works. I explain everything in plain language, no jargon. If you can follow a recipe, you can follow this workbook.
The planning principles work for any zone color harmony, layout planning, sun/shade assessment—all universal. The plant recommendations are Zone 5 specific for now, but you can easily substitute plants for your zone using the framework I provide. (And I'm working on guides for other zones!)
That's exactly what "low-maintenance" means! The whole point is creating gardens that don't require constant weeding, bending, and physical strain. I focus on perennials, proper mulching, and smart design that minimizes work.
Perfect! Smaller gardens are actually easier to maintain. The workbook includes templates for small, medium, and large gardens. Even a small flower bed can be absolutely stunning.
It's a digital PDF workbook that you can download immediately. You can print it out if you like working on paper (I do!), or fill it out digitally on your tablet. Your choice!
Great! This workbook will help you refine your plan, make sure you haven't missed anything important, and give you confidence that your choices will work. Even experienced gardeners find the checklists and plant guides helpful.
Right now! The best time to plan is before you spend money on plants. Even if it's winter and you can't plant yet, planning now means you'll be ready to go as soon as spring arrives.
If you go through the workbook and don't find it helpful, just email me within 30 days and I'll refund your $17. No questions asked. I want you to love it.
