Hey there! I'm Nicole, your regional garden coach from Chicago. I want to help you build a bridge to your dream of becoming a Gardener. I also want to help you provide the most healthy food for you and your family, create a beautiful space to use as a sanctuary from life's stresses, and strengthen your community with your friends and neighbors. Let's get started! I started gardening with my grandma and mom when I was little. Both had large vegetable gardens in their rural yards every year, so starting my own garden was a given when I moved to Chicago. It was a fun challenge to adapt what I thought a garden should look like to suburban and urban spaces.
One thing has stayed the same year after year and regardless of where I’m gardening: there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a tiny plant you started from seed or brought home from a nursery mature into what you’re sitting down to eat for dinner.
