THE BEST GARDENS ARE PLANNED.
Whether you've been gardening a few years or this is your first season, and you want to eat more food you’ve grown yourself, you already know that you need to have a plan.
A productive garden hinges on:
You also know that a proper plan can lessen the physical exhaustion and the mid-season burnout.
Imagine going from having garden IDEAS (but no path to make them happen), to developing a
FULL SEASON GARDEN PLAN
where you'll know exactly what to do each week for the next 6+ months...and continually harvest until next winter (or beyond).
Even if you have some ideas (and maybe you’ve even bought some seeds!), having a detailed full-season plan will:

Develop a customized working list of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers you want to grow, identify which season each will grow best in, and determine what type of garden method you'll use.
Draw your garden layout, which will include succession planting, companion planting, and your fall garden from the earliest planting to the end of the season.
With 22 video-driven lessons, I'll walk you step by step through how to plan your garden for the entire season.
By the end of Module 4, your 2024 Dream to Garden Monthly Calendar will be full of everything you need to accomplish each week -- giving you your garden season to enjoy the growing and harvesting.
Each lesson contains an action step for you to complete in your garden plan, and the Dream to Garden workbook walks you through how to implement what you learn.
You'll also find "cheat sheets" for common crops, including planting times relative to your climate, so you'll no longer have to guess whether you're planting at the right time.
Also included are 3 GreenStalk Bonus Video Lessons.
Also included are 3 Straw Bale Garden Bonus Video Lessons.
If you're not sure whether to indoor sow, direct sow, or transplant, Before You Sow will walk you through your options so you can best decide before you begin Dream to Garden.
Learn basic companion planting principles in Companion Planting 101 so you can have an idea how to incorporate that in your garden layout. And if you're gardening in raised beds, the Raised Bed Mini-Bundle will help you with building, placing, and filling your raised beds.
You're not in this alone! To support you on your garden journey, I'll host weekly "office hours" for four weeks and monthly until August. Plus, join the students-only Dream to Garden Facebook group to connect with past and current students of Dream to Garden who can support you along the way.
We're certain that YOU will join the hundreds of others who are completely satisfied with Dream to Garden.
But if you join the course, work through at least Modules 1 and 2, and realize the course isn't right for you, simply let us know with 15 days of purchase, and we will refund your investment.

Just like in your garden, you have options. Choose which one is best for you.
After you plan your garden, get ready to pick, prepare, and preserve your harvest.
In Dream to Garden you’ll be introduced to my unique, proven process of planning a full season garden, which will help you rise above the mediocre results you’d otherwise get by winging it.
You’ll find your dream garden to be much easier to plan than you ever thought possible, and more than that, you’ll set yourself up to harvest the crops that serve you and your home.
Sure, all gardens have unforeseen factors that arise, but with this plan your entire garden dreams won’t come crashing down with one late freeze, an abnormally wet spring, or a barrage of unexpected pests. Even if you do stumble into struggles in one area this year due to those unpredictable factors, you can confidently know you have new crops ready to make up for it.
But I don’t want you to have to wait months to see if this plan might work for you. Enroll right now, watch a few short lessons, and start seeing when your favorite crops will take center stage in your garden.
By the end of Module 2 — where you’ll begin developing your Three Season Garden Timeline — if you can’t see the vision of your dream garden coming to life, just email me within 15 days and I’ll refund your investment.
"I had minimal success in my gardens before Dream To Garden. With following the course I was able to efficiently plan out my garden in advance which helped take the guess work away or that last minute scramble of trying to figure out what to do. I finally had a garden that produced a harvest in ABUNDANCE."

"I took the Dream to Garden course hoping to understand the seasons of my region and to be able to use that knowledge to garden all year long. I was able to garden all year because of the plan, the clear teaching, and the understanding passed on by Jill in her course."

"I really struggled with what to do or how to plan out my garden. I hoped that Dream to Garden would really help me to think about all the check boxes I would need to make sure was complete before I started seeds or put out raised beds. It brings me so much joy to grow my own food year round and I feel like I have gained the confidence to do so because of this course."

I LOVE the Dream to Garden course so far!! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the smart and thoughtful way you suggest breaking down the rather overwhelming task of planning the garden. I would never do it without this course! --Karen
I loved [Dream to Garden]!! I planted 75 tomato plants and canned enough spaghetti and pizza sauce to last our family for two years! The information you share is invaluable and I thank you for your time in putting this course together! --Jessica
Now I can finally plant my garden and get everything planted at the exact times they should be. No more wasting my time, money on seeds, and most important to me, my effort. Jill has done all of the hard work for me! I can’t recommend Jill’s class, Dream to Garden, enough! --Kathy
I can't begin to tell you how much I am enjoying this entire experience. The garden planning and learning is making my life so much fuller and hopefully this winter shorter.” —Karel
What if I’ve already done some planning for this year’s garden?
Great! While this course will serve those who haven’t even begun to plan their gardens, you will be a step ahead in narrowing down your garden’s focus for the year. You will also be in a great position to tweak those plans even further to set yourself up for an even longer season with a bigger harvest.
Can’t I just find succession planting and companion planting ideas online?
You absolutely can, and in fact, I encourage you to! But understanding how to best choose which successions and companions will work in your garden is what will help you make the most of these critical harvest-maximizing techniques.
Plus, I also show you how to choose between succession planting and its cousin, relay planting (my favorite), and even other options to open up more possibilities for success. AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANT, I show you how to fit these options into your garden layout without losing your mind. ;)
Why can’t I just make a basic plan and then figure the rest out as the season progresses?
You totally can; in fact, most people do just that. (I did it my first couple of years myself!) But from my experience and what I’ve seen of others over the years, you risk losing a huge opportunity to grow and harvest more.
In the middle of the season, when your spring and early summer crops are done or are looking sad, you’re more likely to give up and call it a season, rather than taking full advantage of the growing time remaining. By following my plan and executing it throughout the season, you set yourself up for a greater harvest.
When I enroll, what will I get access to first?
Immediately upon enrollment, I’ll send you an email with login instructions to the course. You will see a welcome video that will show you around the site and help you know where to start.
What if I enroll and I realize it’s not the course for me?
Email me within 15 days of enrollment, and I will refund the course fee to you.
Is this for gardeners in any climate?
Most Dream to Garden students garden in the US or Canada (or places with similar climates). Whether you have a short growing season or a long one, this course will guide you to identifying major dates around which you will plant your crops and plan their growth. And unlike many garden resources, you’ll learn how to take advantage of growing times outside the typical growing season window.
Why should I pay for an online course when so much information on gardening is already available to me?
Online garden articles, videos, podcasts, and books are all excellent resources for successful gardening techniques. They tell you the “what” to do. This course goes a step further into the “how” to do it. Through my online training and the Dream to Garden Workbook, I walk you step-by-step how to execute and put in place the “how’s” behind the “what’s.”
I include my own garden plan in many cases as an example. It’s similar to comparing reading a book about baseball to having a player show you how the game is played. And, in the office hours (which will be recorded if you can't make it), I'll be available to help you out if you get stuck or have questions along the way.
Will I get access to the full course right away?
When you enroll, you will gain immediate access to the full course along with all the bonuses. In that first email, I'll also walk you through where to start first.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does "lifetime" access sound? As long as I still sell and maintain the course (and I have no intention of stopping anytime soon), you have full access to the course platform, including any future updates. If at some point I choose to close the course, you'll be given the opportunity to download the videos to access anytime on your own device.
What if I'm not on Facebook?
The Facebook community is fantastic support system, but it's not required to complete or implement the course. The "office hours" is a great resource to serve students who prefer not to be on Facebook. If you can't join live, recordings will be uploaded to Teachable, where Dream to Garden is hosted. Also, the comments section within the course is always open, and I try to respond as quickly as possible to my students. My students are my top priority!
You’re growing your first garden (or your first garden in a new space) and you want plan it right the first time.
You’ve had a few gardens in your past and you know you need a better, more strategic plan to increase your harvests over what you’ve already experienced.
You can’t contain your excitement over the possibilities of this garden season, but you fear you may not get it right on your own.
You aren’t 100% sure you know when to plant all of your crops or how much space each one requires in your garden for the best results.
You’re willing to invest a couple of hours per week in the planning, planting, and growing your garden from now until the season ends.
You know that having a plan will actually save you money in the long-run because you won’t be throwing money away at a poorly-planned garden.
You’ve already got an idea in your mind of what you’d love your garden to achieve this season.
You’re ready to begin implementing succession planting and companion planting to get more harvest from your space, but you're not quite sure how to do it effectively.
You’re excited to learn how to ensure every space of soil in your garden is growing something all growing season.
You feel confident grabbing your access details knowing you have 15 days to test it out. You’re ready to jump in and watch the lessons and plan out your garden in these 4 modules over the course of the next 4 weeks.
