honest answers
We know you have questions because we are the first of our kind!
I've never gardened. Am I qualified to teach this?
Yes — that's the whole point. Every lesson tells you what to say, what to do, and what to plant, and the video lessons show you before you go outside. If you can read aloud, you can teach this.
How much time does it take each week?
About 2–3 lessons a week: a 10-minute read-aloud at the table, one workbook page, and time outside in the garden. It's designed to fit real family life, not add to it.
We don't homeschool — can we still use it?
1,000% yes. Families use it after school, on weekends, in co-ops, and all summer long. Any adult who can read aloud can teach it.
What if we fall behind or start mid-season?
It's completely self-paced. Start any time and move at your own speed — there's no wrong week to begin, and the lessons keep for next season too.
Do I need a big garden or special equipment?
No. The lessons work in raised beds, containers on a patio, or a small backyard plot. You'll plan your space together on the coaching calls.
Which workbook level should I choose?
K–2nd for early readers, 3rd–5th for older kids. Teaching siblings? Add a second level at checkout — one read-aloud covers both.
When do the books arrive?
Books ship from Missouri and arrive in about 5–7 business days.
