Before becoming a garden coach, NaTasha McDonald was a cake artist. She joined Gardenary because she had a desire to teach other people how to grow their own vegetables. "I think it's really important for us to go back to our roots and where things started," she says, "and Gardenary had the perfect system, the perfect program, to get me started in that direction."
Now, she owns a garden consulting company and loves witnessing clients learn and feel excited about gardening. "Gardening itself is a form of help and charity, and the person who loves gardening, even if they don't know everything, should get into the Gardenary program," she says.
Before finding Gardenary on Instagram, Crystal Jarvis was working various part-time jobs and taking care of her five children. She'd always loved to garden and realized she could have a much bigger vision for herself and share her passion for growing your own food with others.
Now, she's the owner of Lettuce Grow Something, a garden consulting company in Austin, Texas. Starting your own company can be challenging but has made Crystal grow as a person. She's proud to show her children what you can build when you work really hard at something and put in a lot of effort and time. If it weren't for Gardenary Consultant Certification, "I think I would never have seen the potential in myself," she says.
Katie Oglesby was still working full-time in the financial services industry when she finished her health certification and was looking for a way to turn her passion for gardening into something more. "Gardening's personal for me," she says. "It helped me reclaim my health." GCC helped Katie integrate her love of gardening and wellness and lay the foundation for her business.
Her favorite part about starting her own health and garden coaching business has been inspiring others to grow their own food and connect to what they put in their bodies through garden-to-table experiences.
Become a Gardenary Consultant
Learn my 3-part framework for becoming a garden consultant. I'll show you the step-by-step process my clients have followed to start and grow their garden coaching business in 90 days or less.
Besides their love of sharing gardening joy with others, these three coaches have another thing in common: They enrolled in GCC to help them build their successful businesses and learn the frameworks they use now to help clients grow their own food and their selves.
Seeing their success and the differences they're making has spurred my own mission to train more and more coaches so that every community has someone to help them grow their own food and do their small part to help the planet.
