Take A Look At The Transformations
"Kitchen Garden Academy meets you where ever you are on your gardening journey! Totally worth it."
Lisa Jenne
"I have learned a lot even though I have been gardening for a while."
Carol Flanagan
"An extraordinary course that supports you through every stage of planning a garden and growing a garden. Nicole’s books and courses gave me the tools and confidence I never dreamed I had!!"
Marcia Cunha
"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
"Kitchen Garden Academy has all the tools you need. You can use all of them or just when you have specific questions."
Caroline Kuhn
"Kitchen Garden Academy helped me make my garden dreams come true! Building the kitchen garden of my dreams not only transformed my yard but it transformed my life. The step-by-step process and support of the KGA community have made gardening easy!"
Debbie Midcalf
"In Kitchen Garden Academy, I learned the steps to locating a site, preparing the site, installing the beds, finding the best soil, and intensively planting the plants in the course."
Dorrie Bernstein
"Nicole is a great teacher, and her lesson is amazing so you can also have a beautiful vegetable garden."
Lilian Fereira
"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."
Heather Webster
"The investment is worth your time and is an educational hobby. Join!"
Misti Nickel
"The placement, quality of plants and the soil proved the decades of mistakes that I have made. I wasted time and money on unproductive plants. In less than 6 weeks I am harvesting food. At the price of fresh food, I am so pleased! And I know it is chemical free. If I have questions there are videos for that!"
Deborah L Moore
"Make a plan for your dream garden based on your space and what you want to grow. Start small and add on as your time, interest and expertise increases. So many great ideas can be overwhelming but Nicole helps you break it down to increase your chance of success and happiness with your results."
Patti Burkholder
"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
"KGA is a wonderful guide and resource for reaching your personal kitchen garden goals."
Jennifer Fox
"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 joined KGA in 2020 and learned so much to utilize in my community garden plot. It was the most productive year I've ever had! Since then, I've been designing and saving for a garden in my yard. This spring, I was finally able to begin the process, and the lessons on designing, preparing, and creating the garden and KGA was invaluable! Someday I'll complete the garden by building the other two sides to the square with 2 more 4'x8' beds. Because of KGA I have all the confidence I need to do it myself!"
Meridith Greene
"If you're looking to build or refresh your kitchen garden, Nicole's program has everything you need and more to make it a reality. Refreshing my garden wasn't even initially in the plans this season. Then, in early March I came across a Gardenary post on Instagram, started following and weeks later, was building my dream kitchen garden! I chose to DIY it, and everything is broken down into manageable bits of information, the videos answer almost any question you could possibly have, and there's a great community of other gardeners. Plus, Nicole is so involved and there for you every step of the way."
Laura Wilson
"Following the instructional videos and watching an actual installation in the Kitchen Garden Course taught us everything we needed to know to choose a good location and design our kitchen garden. Our installation was completed 4/27/2022. By May 1, the beds were planted. By May 24, we harvested cherry tomatoes. By June 17, we were harvesting blackeyed peas. This year 2023, we are harvesting cucumbers and greens beans in April. What we learned about soil, timing, planting, and maintaining from Nicole have made the difference."
Andrea Newman
"KGA is a comprehensive online garden course, with modules all the way from planning your garden, through installation, planting. tending, and harvesting! Each module is broken down into multiple bite-sized videos, there are also comprehensive PDFs with written instructions and photos. I’m a new gardener, and I’ve learned everything I needed to know there to build and enjoy my dream garden! Now, I can’t imagine living without my garden!"
Patty Henrichsen
"A guide to all you need to know and make that transformation."
Priscila Ortiz
"KGA is an incredible tool to equip you in a fun, engaging, helpful way to grow in practical knowledge in your garden! Having all these resources that are such a pleasure to follow at your fingertips is a total game-changer. It’s easy to quickly notice yourself growing in knowledge that boosts your confidence and excitement that makes you eager to dive into the dirt. You will get to watch your plants thrive and observe that you are thriving too!"
Kathleen Pourciau
"The amount of information in this program and classes is priceless. I was able to learn each step in a very understandable way and not have to go to multiple sources. As Nicole stated, 90% of the work is in preparation. I live in Michigan, and so my plants are just beginning to pop out of the rich 103% soil. This program will save you time because you've done it the right way from the start."
Leona Stanton
"I really benefited from the step-by-step video modules and gained a lot of confidence by following those guidelines. Also, Nicole is so inspiring!"
Adri Murdock
"KGA gave me the courage to tackle this project. The 6 x 6 U-shaped raised bed was purchased from Gardeners Supply and it assembled so easily - just like a puzzle. The next step was adding good soil. I used their fantastic guidance to plan for growing in Cool, Warm, and Hot seasons, and planting according to the space requirements for each plant - small, medium, and large spaces. The planning worked out so well that I was able to harvest and replant all year long, and keeping the garden full meant I had no room for weeds. In this small 6 x 6 garden at the base of my deck, I produced so many wonderful vegetables and herbs. I was pleasantly surprised with my winter crop!"
Ellen Ray
"A step-by-step guide to help you dream and build your dream garden."
Angelia Johnson
"KGA is a great program with tons of information teaching you how to grow a raised bed garden no matter the size of your planting area. Nicole explains every aspect of preparing, maintaining, and harvesting a successful garden. Learning her techniques makes gardening easier, more fun, and more successful with all of the material in one easy-to-access place. Not only are the videos and download written material invaluable to your learning, but they are also at your fingertips whenever you need a refresher."
Lori
"Start out easy to build your confidence, and don’t over do it! Make a plan for your dream garden. Include ways to allow expansion as that will surely happen! Start with easy plants to allow for success, and follow along with Nicole as she gives you great advice that will ease you into container gardening. Learn, plan, grow and be patient = success!"
Patti Burkholder
"Creating a vegetables garden is very easy with Nicole and KGA."
Lilian Fereira
"There is so much valuable information shared by Nicole in the video courses. We are excited to see how our garden grows and continues to transform with the raised beds we are adding and water irrigation along with greenhouse."
Jenny Barnea
"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."
Glenda Pfeifer

"I learned the simple secrets of creating a plentiful kitchen garden. It also allowed me to inspire many friends and neighbors to do the same."
Alice Gould
"I went from not knowing anything about gardening to building and growing my first garden. I thought more about the placement and what else I wanted around my garden, like my upper patio area. I grew plants on the first try and was so proud of my accomplishments. It felt really empowering to be able to do what I have done. I am Really happy I invested into Kitchen Garden Academy."
Tiffany Whittemore
"Kitchen Garden Academy is the expeditionary learning in the game puzzle pieces of gardening."
Jamie Baker
"In Kitchen Garden Academy, you will get inspired, gain knowledge, and be encouraged until your garden is a reality!"
Michelle Darden
Lauren Stephens
"It’s a great resource for beginners trying to find their footing and intermediate gardeners looking for fresh ideas and inspiration. Nicole teaches a methodology that can be adapted by anyone with or without gardening experience, getting the hard part out of the way first, by building the foundation of the garden (location, layout, raised beds, path, trellis, soil) so that later you can enjoy the good part of planting, tending and harvesting."
Filipina Schlesier
"It’s a very informative, simple, and approachable way to build your dream garden. It takes the overwhelm out of starting and empowers one to simply start with steps that create building blocks of information until you arrive at your perfect garden!"
Anne Jensen
"I’ve lived in Hawaii all my life and sadly more than 80% of our food is imported to the islands. I was tired of buying salad in grocery stores for $8, herbs for $5, peppers, eggplant, you name it for $4/lb and up. I stumbled upon Nicole’s IG one day and started following her easy tips and then decided to make a dead space in my backyard my kitchen garden! I signed up chose the design and followed her simple and easy instructions, and never looked back! Even with limited resources here in Hawaii, I was able to create a successful kitchen garden of my own! Mahalo Nicole and the GARDENARY team!"
Grace kornegay
"KGA has allowed me to elevate my garden business (and confidence) through a series of in-depth trainings."
Marlena Wolf
"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!"
