Digital Products
How You Can Use Our Content
All content on our sites (including videos, courses, lessons, graphics, photos, written materials, PDFs, and any intellectual property) is owned or licensed by Gardenary, Inc. You’re welcome to use these materials for personal learning and inspiration. However, you may not copy, share, reproduce, distribute, sell, create derivative works, or use them for commercial purposes without our written permission.
Refund Policy: Courses, Programs, and Digital Content
Because our courses and programs include digital materials and immediate access, payments are non-refundable and all sales are final, except where otherwise noted below (see Kitchen Garden Academy and Garden Coach Academy).
Courses include lifetime access designed for flexible, self-paced learning, so we are unable to offer refunds for reasons such as lack of time, personal circumstances, bereavement, or other unforeseen events. However, we're happy to move you to a future class group or provide access to live calls at another time to continue your learning.
Kitchen Garden Academy (KGA)
When you enroll in Kitchen Garden Academy, you're investing in the knowledge and step-by-step system to design, build, and grow your own thriving kitchen garden. Our promise is to provide the education and support you need to make that possible.
Refund Window: If you're not satisfied with Kitchen Garden Academy, you may request a full refund within 7 days of your purchase date, refunded to your original payment method. Refund requests made after 7 days from purchase are not eligible. To request a refund, email [email protected] within the 7-day window.
Garden Coach Academy (GCA)
(formerly Garden Consultant Certification / GCC)
When you enroll in Garden Coach Academy, you're investing in the knowledge and systems to build and grow your own garden consulting business. Our promise is to provide the education you need to design gardens for clients, set up your business, and build a foundation to grow as a garden coach.
Refund Window: If you're not satisfied with Garden Coach Academy, you may request a full refund within 7 days of your purchase date, refunded to your original payment method. Refund requests made after 7 days from purchase are not eligible. To request a refund, email [email protected] within the 7-day window.
Education Only, Not Professional Advice
Our content is intended to be educational, informative, and entertaining. It is not legal, medical, tax, financial, or professional advice. You remain responsible for your choices, safety, tools, and results in your garden and home.
Communication
By creating an account or enrolling in a course, you agree to receive course updates, resources, and important notifications by email.
Payment Plans
Payment plans are offered as a convenience and include automatic recurring charges every 30 days until the balance is paid in full. Plans are not subscriptions and cannot be canceled once enrolled. Please note that the total payment plan price is slightly higher than the pay-in-full price to reflect this flexibility.
If a payment fails or your card expires, you’ll have seven (7) days to update your payment information. Access to course materials may be temporarily suspended until your account is current.
If within 3 months you would like to pay the full balance of your Garden Consultant Certification course ahead of schedule, please email us at [email protected] to receive a pay-off link. To ensure your current plan is canceled and no further charges occur, we require an additional email from you to notify us once your payoff has been completed.
Subscriptions
Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before the renewal date. Upon cancellation, access to any associated online content or community will no longer be available. All subscription payments are non-refundable, including for partial months or unused periods, and including any physical products included as part of a subscription (such as seasonal planners).
Course Bonuses
Occasionally, Gardenary may offer special bonuses or live coaching opportunities as part of a specific course launch. These bonuses are exclusive to customers who enroll during that particular launch period. Previous or future course owners are not entitled to receive bonuses offered in other launches, as these are time-limited offers available only to active participants at the time of purchase.
Community Guidelines
We cultivate a community of kindness, respect, and shared growth. By participating in any Gardenary group, forum, or program, you agree to help maintain a positive, supportive environment for all members.
- Treat others with courtesy, encouragement, and patience.
- Offer feedback in a constructive and respectful way.

Physical Products
Cancellation Policy
We offer a 24-hour cancellation window for physical product orders, as long as the order has not yet shipped.

If you need to make a change, please contact [email protected] as soon as possible after placing your order to see if cancellation is still available.

Trellis Rust Warranty:
Gardenary trellises are warranted against rust for three months from the date of purchase.
Rusting on a trellis is not a manufacturing defect, but rather a natural weathering process and chemical reaction that occurs when metal is exposed to oxygen and water. A detailed explanation: This process occurs when the iron particles are lost to the acidity in the water, causing the iron to become oxidized, forming iron. Then, when the iron is formed, oxygen is released and causes those electrons to rise and form hydroxyl ions (rust).
All Gardenary trellises are made of powder-coated steel, which provides a barrier against rust. However, exposure to the outdoor elements can cause natural weathering over time.
A couple of suggestions to prolong the life of your steel trellis:
A clear UV spray can be purchased at your local hardware store in the paint department. Simply spray on 1-2 coats, covering all areas of the trellis. Repeat each year.
- Avoid watering and spraying the trellis directly
- Cover the trellis during the winter season or periods of non-use.
- If you notice rust within three months of purchase, please contact [email protected] with photos of the affected areas.
General
Limited Liability
All Gardenary courses, books, and resources are offered “as is” and “as available.” We share our best methods, organic practices, and experience, but every garden is unique—and nature always has the final say. For that reason, Gardenary cannot guarantee specific results or outcomes. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Our total liability for any claim shall never exceed the amount you paid for the program or service related to that claim. The Company makes no warranties or representations as to its accuracy.
In plain language, this means we provide educational content in good faith, but we can’t guarantee outcomes or take responsibility for any losses. We work hard to ensure that our content is helpful and accurate, but we can’t promise that every piece of information will always be correct or apply to every gardener.
