"Saved me 10 years of garden confusion in the first two months."
Katt hunsaker
"A wealth of helpful information and inspiration. I always dreamed of my very own kitchen garden. I had zero experience and thought it was not possible because I didn’t have a “green thumb”. Turns out - it is possible for anyone. Thanks to KGA I did it! I learned so much and it was exactly the resource I needed to make my garden dream come true. I now have my own little sanctuary aka “my happy place”. I recommend it to anyone looking for guidance, inspiration, and a kick start in the direction of their newest and joyous experience of gardening!"

"Nicole led me step by step and gave me the confidence I needed to design and build my new garden boxes. I totally love having fresh greens to harvest every day! We used recycled deck wood to keep the price down. Her 103 soil mix has really made a difference in my ability to grow everything I’ve planted. From buying seeds to harvesting, I’ve had the support needed."

"It's a MUST HAVE course!"
Mindy Dickason
"I have learned a lot even though I have been gardening for a while. I never knew you could grow tomatoes on a trellis, and I can't wait to see how mine does. I have recommended this to several customers at the nursery where I work."
Carol Flanagan
It has all the tools you need. You can use all of them, or just when you have specific questions.

Got Questions?
How long do I have access?
You get lifetime access to all the course, so you can go through it and implement at your own pace.
I've never gardened before, is this for me?
Yes, this is for you! You get to start small with the Microgreens Course and you can graduate to a full kitchen garden once you're ready with the Academy.
It's cold where I live, should I wait?
If it's cold where you live this is the best time to plan your kitchen garden! This is the perfect time to create your design, and work on your setup, so that you're ready for spring planting.
I don't have a lot of space, will this work for me?
If you have a small space, then you're the person that needs this system the most. The Gardenary system will help you make the most of your space. If you can find at least 16 square feet, then this is for you!
I am busy, can I make this work for me?
This course is for the person who wants access to the proven framework. You won't find yourself ever again looking for Youtube's advice. Inside Kitchen Garden Academy we tell you what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.
How much money do I need to spend beyond Kitchen Garden Academy?
A minimum of a few hundred dollars for a basic 4x4 raised bed. You would invest $300-$500 more on the raised bed, the soil, the trellis, and the seeds.

"Once the joy of my life, now my raised bed traditional gardens had become a nightmare, and I was ready to give up gardening for good. The demolition crew was contracted and had begun tearing out the beds to plant grass. Then I came across KGA. The training breathed life into my dying dream, and I once again had hope that I could have a garden system that wouldn't require all my time. I immediately halted the crew and gave new instructions. Now I have a gorgeous oasis that fills me with joy once again. I am not exaggerating when I say KGA gave me my life back!"
APRIL JACKSON
"I loved being part of this group. The knowledge, the step-by-step instructions, and the support from other gardeners and Nicole and the staff were invaluable. It’s more than just a garden; it’s a source of wonder and joy. It never disappoints, and when it does, there are solutions to explore and encouragement. It’s life-changing."
BARBARA SCHMIDT
"This garden install was part of a DIY total land and home renovation. We had the elbow grease but lacked the garden know-how. KGA simplified the process from planning to harvest and equipped us with the tools and confidence we needed to make our family’s kitchen garden dreams come true. Thank you, Nicole and KGA. We are forever grateful!"
MAGGIE SEARS
"I have learned a lot even though I have been gardening for a while."
CAROL FLANAGAN
"Kitchen Garden Academy helped give me the tools for understanding how to create a garden from the ground up that is practical, productive, and pretty. I used to kill every plant given to me and had no idea where to even start to grow my own garden. It has been so satisfying to be able to eat from our garden and even share harvests with friends!"
MONIQUE BOTTGER
"KGA is a place to keep your motivation and learn from others' mistakes - when I shared my location and saw issues or problems, I was met with encouragement and permission."
