The Back Story

Cowgirl Gardens started as a personal passion, born out of a desire to share with others how to  establish and maintain a successful kitchen garden space for themselves.

I started gardening as an adult.  I wanted to grow my own food to feel more connected to what I was putting on the table for my family.   I figured that if a local farmer can grow it, then I can, too.  I read books, spent hours online, tested soils, tools and approaches, seeded in the garden and indoors and tried all kinds of things.  I even got certified as a Gardenary consultant.

What I learned is that gardening is pretty basic.

The most important thing is having the right setup: think sunlight, water, good soil.

ANYONE can garden – yes, you can too!

Our Approach To Kitchen Gardening

At Cowgirl Gardens, we believe that anyone can have a kitchen garden.  All it takes is a little sunlight and the desire to grow some of your own food.

Why should you trust me?

Because I wasn’t always a gardener. Not that long ago, I thought I had a black thumb – truly! Then, with my newfound knowledge, a little elbow grease and some help from mother nature, I built my first kitchen garden.  In the first year, I went whole-hog in and produced literally hundreds of pounds of produce.  I want to show you how you can, too.
