Am I doing it wrong?

Get set up to win, and stop wondering if you're starting seeds the right way.

Hi, I’m Anne, a product designer and plant nerd who used to think seeds were “too hard.”

Let me help you:

  • Fit seed starting into your life in a way that’s do-able
  • Succeed consistently with plants you start yourself
  • Feel confident and supported in a totally non-judgy way
  • Zombie apocalypse-proof your garden 😉 🥬 by building the skills to start and save your own seeds.

Equal parts nerdy and encouraging, I’ll bring you actionable ideas every week, and I’ll *never* make you feel bad if you ignore all my advice.
