Kitchen Garden Consultancy, Garden Installs and On-going Coaching for the Ann Arbor MI Area

Hi there! We're David & Hannah Michael...

And we are on a mission to add an abundant garden to every backyard, including yours! Our journey started with our own health struggles, which became even more significant when our son was born with Down Syndrome. Needing chemical-free food, we poured our hearts into creating a garden that provided truly healthy food.

For nearly a decade, we've perfected our gardening technique, helping friends and family achieve gardening success. Now, we've turned our passion into a proven system that transforms even the busiest beginners into successful gardeners in just one season.

Excited to start your gardening adventure? We're here to help—reach out now and book a consultation!

We'll chat through what you would like your garden and harvests to look like. Then we'll draw up a plan to get you there.

Step 2

Either we can handle the install completely, or you can head it up with your plan in hand.

Step 3

You're ready to tend, nurture and harvest from your plants. You've got this and we're right here with you!

FAQS

What if I don’t have time for growing a garden? 

Don't worry! Our system is simple and doesn't need to take more than a couple of hours a week once the install work is done. We started our garden the day our second baby was due and all while we were owner building our house. You can do it too! We'll be there to hold your hand, and if that's still too much then we can do most of the work for you with our garden maintenance packages.

Will I really see the same results?

Gardens are absolutely subject to differing weather conditions, bugs, set-up and maintenance but we'll teach you a gardening method that's based on nature, is regenerative and supports the local eco-system. That's hard to beat. We've seen great success in not only our own garden, but every client we've worked with. So, we have no reason to believe it won't work for you too!

Can I start a garden right now?

You can plant a garden as soon as the ground thaws, all the way through to a couple weeks before the first frost is due. In Ann Arbor area, that's February through October. And in between you can be learning growing techniques, planning your space, collecting supplies and getting excited for your first harvests!

We've even been experimenting with winter growing. We'll have classes available asap.
