Does This Sound Familiar?
You want to grow your own food. You've watched the videos, read the blog posts, maybe even started a bed or two. But life is busy, the questions keep piling up, and without someone to ask or systems to follow, it's easy to get stuck, make the same mistakes year after year, or just quietly give up.
The Guild is built to fix that. Not with more information to sort through on your own, but with a real person walking alongside you through an entire growing season.

- Monthly one-on-one planning and Q&A. A 1 hour virtual meetup with a directed layout to work through your pain points and leave with a clear plan of action.

How Your Journey Works
Plan. We start with your space, your goals, and your schedule, and build a plan that actually fits your life instead of competing with it.
Build. We put that plan into action, step by step, with support along the way so you're never guessing what to do next.
Grow and Adjust. As your garden grows, we troubleshoot what's working and what isn't, so you leave with a system, not just a season.
Meet Travis
I'm a Certified Permaculture Designer, Certified Arborist, and hold an M.S. in Sustainability focusing on soil science, plant ecology, and horticulture, with years of hands in the soil and feet in the garden.
Growing up, my gardening experience felt like a chore with little to show for it. I knew this couldn't be what gardening was. Years of practicing, experimenting, and learning from others taught me how to build systems that work with nature instead of fighting it. Now I hand people small, doable steps that fit into real life, so they're in the garden fast, building momentum instead of burning out, and discovering that growing your own food can be exciting instead of exhausting.
Here's what I want for you:
1. Get you into the garden, fast. Hands in the soil, growing something real, faster than you think is possible, without needing to "learn everything" first.
2. Hand you a system that fits your life. Broken into small, doable steps, so gardening fits into a busy season instead of competing with it.
3. Walk with you through your first full year. Not just following a video once and guessing after, but building a garden and a habit that's actually built for the chapter of life you're in right now.
This is exactly what I've built The Guild to do. If you're ready to stop guessing and start growing, it's the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time does this actually take each month? Plan on roughly 2 hours of direct one-on-one time each month (the planning meetup, and your phone call, plus whatever time you spend applying what we talk through in your own garden. The system is built to fit into a busy season, not add another thing to manage.
What does a garden audit actually look like? Whichever works for your schedule. You can hop on a quick FaceTime call and get feedback live, or send in photos along with your specific pain points and questions, and I'll get back to you within three business days.
How does billing work? The Guild is an ongoing, year round membership. Your card is auto drafted every six months, so there's nothing to resign up for.
I'm a total beginner. Is this still for me? Yes. The Guild is built to meet you wherever you're starting from, whether that's your very first bed or a garden you've been wrestling with for years.
