About Strategic Garden Guide

Founded in 2019 by master gardener Sarah Chen and landscape architect Marcus Thompson, Strategic Garden Guide emerged from a shared vision to democratize professional-level gardening knowledge. With over 25 years of combined experience in sustainable agriculture and landscape design, our founders recognized a gap between basic gardening tutorials and the sophisticated planning strategies used by professional horticulturalists.

Our comprehensive online platform offers meticulously crafted courses that bridge this knowledge gap, providing both novice and experienced gardeners with the strategic thinking and practical skills needed to create thriving, sustainable gardens. We believe that successful gardening isn't just about growing plantsβ€”it's about understanding ecosystems, planning for seasons, optimizing resources, and creating harmony between human needs and natural processes.

Through our evidence-based curriculum, developed in partnership with agricultural universities and tested across diverse climate zones, we've helped over 15,000 students worldwide transform their gardening approach. Our courses combine traditional wisdom with cutting-edge research in permaculture, soil science, and climate-adaptive gardening techniques.

Whether you're planning your first vegetable garden, designing a pollinator habitat, or scaling up to market gardening, our strategic approach ensures you'll develop the critical thinking skills and practical knowledge needed for long-term success. Join our community of strategic gardeners and discover how proper planning can revolutionize your growing experience.
