I’ve spent more than 40 years growing, working with, and teaching people about plants. I created Backyard Food Garden Club for people who want to grow more of their own food without feeling overwhelmed by where to start. Inside the community, I’m teaching practical, step-by-step gardening skills, including: 🥕 Finding the right spot for your garden 🌱 Building raised beds 💧 Irrigation and watering 📏 Plant spacing 🍅 Growing better tomatoes 🪴 Growing food in containers 🍴 Turning your harvest into meals ☀️ Keeping your garden productive through summer The goal is simple: help you grow food successfully and enjoy the process. If you’ve been thinking, “I’d love to grow my own food, but I don’t know where to begin,” come join us. 👉 https://www.skool.com/backyard-food-garden-club-1847/about I’d love to have you in the garden. 🌻

One of the most important things I've learned since becoming an online entrepreneur is that the most important thing you can do to grow your business is to build relationships. Many of us (myself included) have rushed to promote our groups and services that we care so deeply about. And it only makes sense - we are excited about what we are doing! Today, I'd like to invite you to take a step back and introduce yourself to the group by answering the following questions: 1. Who are you personally? 2. Who are you professionally? 3. What is something you love doing outside of work? 4. What is something surprising about you? As you open up and make more connections, you will find that not only are people more interested in what you do, but they will also be more interested in helping you make connections with other people they know! 😉 After you introduce yourself, please scroll through the other introductions and add a comment to someone you have something in common with or would like to know more about. 😊 Please add your introduction in the comments below! ⬇️

I’m Rich, a garden coach who helps people grow their own food at home without the guesswork. My specialty is helping beginners create productive backyard food gardens, especially raised bed gardens. I see many people get excited about growing vegetables, build a garden bed, then get stuck wondering what to plant, where to plant it, and how to keep it thriving. A few things I always recommend before planting: ☀️ Choose a spot with the right amount of sunlight. 💧 Plan your irrigation before your plants go in. 🌱 Pick vegetables your family enjoys eating. 📏 Give plants enough space to grow well. A little planning creates a healthier, more productive garden. I created the Backyard Food Garden Club on Skool to help people design raised bed gardens, grow more food in their own backyard, and learn simple systems for a successful harvest. If you’re growing vegetables, planning your first raised bed, or looking to improve your garden, I’d love to have you join us. 🌻 https://www.skool.com/backyard-food-garden-club-1847/about What vegetable would you grow first in your dream backyard garden?
