Begin here to understand how the School works and how to use it properly. This is a structured, seasonal approach to growing food, flowers and resilient families. Complete your Chromatic Garden Personality™ first — then move into the monthly plan and Living sections.

Before planning your garden, begin with yourself. Complete the short assessment below. For each statement, answer: Yes = 2 Sometimes = 1 No = 0 Add up each colour. Your highest score is your dominant garden influence right now. If you find you have more than one dominant colour, revisit the questions in that section.

Now that you’ve completed your Chromatic Garden Personality™ assessment, I’d love you to introduce yourself. Please comment below with: 1️⃣ Your dominant colour 2️⃣ One sentence about what resonated most 3️⃣ What you’d most like your garden to give you this year For example: “I’m Green. I realised I over-care for every bed and get overwhelmed. This year I want my garden to feel calm and shared, not exhausting.” There are no better or worse colours. Each one simply shows how your garden can best support you. Let’s begin by understanding who we are — so we can grow intentionally.
