Question 1

Do I need prior experience?

Accepted Answer

Nope! The Workshop is designed for people at all stages, including complete beginners.
Everything starts from common sense and basic life principles and builds naturally... no jargon, no assumed background, and no expectation that you are a designer or a green thumb.

Question 2

What if I’m not sure this is for me?

Accepted Answer

That’s normal. Thoughtful people hesitate. The workshop is an exciting and comprehensive introduction to growing food and property design, so as long as you are either (a) excited or (b) curious what your yard could become, this is for you.

Question 3

Is there any hands‑on physical labor?

Accepted Answer

No. There will be no surprise shovels.
This is a design and decision‑making weekend focused on a blend of knowledge, wisdom, and reskilling. The hands-on learning includes mapping, surveying, and landscape design.

Question 4

What will I actually leave the workshop with?

Accepted Answer

A clear plan for your property, a hand‑drawn design you created during the weekend, and a wheelbarrow load of confidence.

You also get new friends in your city, ongoing access to support via monthly community calls, and an online course the instructor made for you ($597 value).

Question 5

Is this about gardening, sustainability, or something else?

Accepted Answer

It’s broader than any single category. The work is about understanding living systems and learning how to work with them. For most, that shows up as food, DIY landscaping, a lifestyle closer to nature, or improved home decision‑making (ex. home purchasing, home improvement).

Question 6

Is the workshop for me if I only have a small yard?

Accepted Answer

You don’t need an acreage to grow food or to make a functional and beautiful yard. Everything you learn can be applied to small yards, suburban lots, and even micro-spaces such as community garden plots.

Question 7

What if I already garden or have some experience?

Accepted Answer

Awesome! Some people who attend are expert gardeners (others who come kill Spiderplants), but regardless your level of experience, you will walk out with new ideas, new skills, and a plan for your property you made in class..

Question 8

Is this workshop good for those who own an acreage?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! You have even more space to play with, which is exciting to scale up what you will learn in this workshop.

This workshop is arguably even more valuable for you because most acreage owners get exhausted because they dont plan inwards-->out. You will learn to first make an intelligent de

Question 9

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

A notebook, something to write with, and any maps you already have of your property. 
Curiosity helps too. Everything else is optional. (Except pants.)

Question 10

How many people are in the Workshop?

Accepted Answer

Workshops are limited to 20 participants per city. This keeps the experience personal, focused, and allows for meaningful guidance throughout the weekend. Once a city fills, registration closes.

Question 11

What happens after the Workshop?

Accepted Answer

You don’t leave with just a plan... You get to continue learning and get ongoing support with access to an online course and monthly community calls! We also have opportunities for informal connections with others from your city who are walking a similar path. Make new local friends.

Question 12

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

You can get a full refund up to 14 days before the event. Non-refundable after that.
