Spring is here, and if you’ve been thinking about starting a garden—maybe for the first time ever, or maybe just the first time in a long while—you are not alone. This is the season when a lot of people get the itch to grow something, and it’s also the time when that excitement can turn into confusion really quickly.

What should I plant?
When should I plant it?
Is it too late to start?
What kind of soil do I need?
Why do my plants always die!?

If that sounds familiar, I’ve got good news: you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Introducing: Get Growing! Beginner Gardening Essentials

This class is everything I wish someone had taught me when I first started gardening. It’s a live, two-hour session where I’ll walk you through the exact steps to start a thriving garden, even if you have zero experience (or zero luck) with plants.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

What to grow right now (no more guesswork or wasted trips to the garden center)
A month-by-month planting plan you can actually follow
Where to buy high-quality seedlings
How to transplant, water, and care for your plants correctly
The most common beginner mistakes—and how to avoid them
What to do after planting to keep your garden alive and thriving

Why take this class?

There are plenty of YouTube videos and blog posts out there, but most of them aren’t tailored to our climate here in North Texas. This class is. I’ve taken all the trial-and-error out of the equation so you can get results faster—and actually enjoy the process.

Even better, The Dallas Garden School was recently voted Best Gardening Classes in North Texas. Whether you’re starting a raised bed in your backyard or filling a few pots on your patio, this class will give you the confidence to grow with success.
