Imagine…
Healthier food you grow yourself – no more tasteless chemical-sprayed food. Right from your own backyard to your table. Our family vegetable garden fed all six of us – from one year to the next with the most nutritious and tasty food you can imagine.
Reduced food costs. Done properly, vegetable gardening is a serious money saver that can significantly reduce your food budget. As you can imagine, with 4 kids and a farm, we didn’t have a ton of money but we did have a full table of healthy food for every meal for far less than we could buy it.
A place to teach children about life, food and healthy living. My kids grew up in the garden and the only problem I ever had was getting my share of the sugar peas as they’d be in there harvesting and stuffing their pockets for snacks.
You get expert advice and problem solving from a professional gardener who’s been there, done that and written the book.
Your questions get answered. We both know it’s not the big questions that are the problems, it’s the smaller ones that are specific to your garden. You run into a problem and you need advice. This is what Doug does – provides ecologically sound advice on a personal basis – and he’s been doing it for over 30 years now.
Guarantee
If you’re not happy for any reason, your money will be refunded. You don’t need a fancy reason - all you have to do is email me and ask. My thinking is that if you’re happy, then you can have a better garden but if I can’t help you, then you shouldn’t have to pay for it. It’s an unconditional guarantee. A no-hassle guarantee treated the way I’d like to be treated. You have a full 90 days to check it out and ask for a refund.
