A garden that actually feeds your family!


Reader,

This is how you grow a garden that actually feeds your family


Let’s be honest—gardening can feel overwhelming.

What should I plant?
Where do I start?
Why isn’t this working?

These were exactly the questions we asked when we knew we didn’t want to settle for foods of dubious origin at the grocery store. But back then, it was so hard to find the right answers for our specific climate and shady backyard.

Even after taking a permaculture design course, the education we received wasn’t specifically tailored to our family's needs.

That’s exactly why we created the Grow-It-Yourself (GIY) Program—and starting today, we’re giving new members a bonus that makes it even easier to grow food with confidence!

🎁 Join GIY today and get the SAGE Garden App included—FREE.


GIY gives you what YouTube and Instagram never will:

📋 A step-by-step system
🤝 Personalized guidance from real gardeners
👩‍🌾 A thriving community of support
📅 Seasonal garden plans tailored to your climate
🌿 Tools to troubleshoot pests, soil, and spacing (without the guesswork)

And now, with SAGE included, you’ll get:

🧠 Smart garden design based on permaculture principles
📲 Your planting calendar, companion plants, and spacing—automated
📍Personalized garden maps that show you what to plant where

Together, GIY + SAGE give you both the coaching and the tools to grow more food in less space—with less stress.

Real Members, Real Results:


🌟 Sandy turned her Arizona desert into a backyard oasis of fruit trees with a carpet of yarrow.
When we visited her last year, we could hardly carry home all the fruit she had to share! 🍊

Today, Sandy raises bees and quails—and even teaches drylands gardening modules for others who need that specialized knowledge.



🌟 Rachel from Delaware shared:

"Working with Permaculture Gardens over the past 3 years has made an amazing difference in my gardening experience.
Through their training modules, I learned how to garden holistically and with confidence.
