"Jonny's advice and mentorship helped me quickly develop and refine professional garden management practices– from planning all the way through to selling at the market stand.  Because of this, I was able to intelligently triple my production from one year to the next without compromising quality or becoming overwhelmed. Jonny's expertise helped me get two or three times as much harvest, without the requirement for more space or labor. Work smarter, not harder!"

 oUR VALUES

  • We work in harmony with nature. Project Root Gardens Coaching will guide you to garden with your land. Not on it. Stand out in the field (pun intended :) because our systems will never be a bulldozed one-size-fits-all approach. Your land informs your design.

  • Your success is our success. And there is no success in gardening without a routine. Be held accountable to carve out and stick to the routine that works for you with weekly check-ins throughout the coaching program.

  • Project Root Gardens naturally becomes a personal growth program–because the person behind the seeds (YOU) is part of the system, too. Inevitably as your gardens grow, you will too.

“When I hired Jonny to help me, I was struck by how well he listened to my needs. He took the time to really hear my desires and then helped me make a plan that felt doable. Thanks to his confidence in me, and our design, I did it!! My garden is thriving!!”
