Grounded | Grow in a way that reaches your goals for wellness and joy in 2026
.Trusted by gardeners in 19 countries through the White Strawberries podcast.
There’s never been a better time to start growing — but chances are, you already know that.
You’ve spent months, maybe even years watching other people create abundant, beautiful gardens. And you've started to hear a voice inside saying... maybe I can too?
✅ Maybe I can understand how to grow what I want in 2026
✅ Maybe I can learn strategies that help me grow more with less time yes the exist!
✅ Maybe I can learn how to feed myself & my family from my own home
But every time you try to move forward, it’s easy to end up:
- overwhelmed by information
- unsure where to start
- second-guessing your decisions
- stuck between ideas and action
That’s where Grounded comes in— a space to ask questions, gain clarity, connect with other growers and move forward.
Grounded:
A garden that fits your real life
Waitlist members will receive:
- early access
- founding-member bonuses
- behind-the-scenes updates
- and the opportunity to help shape the first live round of Grounded
Joining the waitlist doesn’t commit you to anything — it simply means you’ll hear the details first.
“I don’t actually want a bigger garden — I want a calmer one.”
I want to find a way to grow more output for less input. More time to enjoy.
“I’m not lazy — I’m selective.”
We all have other things going on in our lives, the last thing we want is a stressful garden competing for our time or making us feel guilty.
“I want a garden that supports my energy, not competes with it.”
The seasonal flow of a garden can match our lives. Not rule it.
Are you the ideal participant?
🌱 You’ve already grown something — and you’re ready for more than basics.
Maybe you've got a raised garden bed, or a few orchard trees, or you've bought a brand new block of grass and want to get your systems perfect for you. You’re ready to move beyond the most basics and into a way of gardening that actually fits your life.
🧭 You’re ready to engage with the process
Grounded is designed for people who are genuinely ready to focus on their space, ask questions, reflect, and take action.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about momentum, clarity, and moving forward with support and accountability.
🌿 You’re craving a better way, not just a bigger one.
You care about joy, wellness, and sustainable living, and you’re drawn to systems that support your life — not busy gardening methods that demand more time and effort than you want to give.
🌱 You’re looking for Gardening 101 or a fast-start beginner course.
Grounded is not Gardening 101.
This is not a fast-start “copy exactly what I did” program or a rigid checklist for every garden.
Because the reality is:
your climate, land, energy, goals, and lifestyle are different from everyone else’s.
You’ll absolutely receive guidance, frameworks, seasonal support, and practical tools — but the deeper goal is helping you make thoughtful decisions for your space.
If you’d prefer a simpler beginner-focused starting point, Grass to Garden may be a better fit right now.
Grounded might not be for you if…
Questions?
Grounded is a structured, multi-week coaching course with live workshop-style sessions, Q&A, goal setting and collaboration.
A simple, annotated garden map (showing sun, water, wind, and zones) A clear “Garden Manifesto” outlining what you want your space to do for you Seasonal flow lists so you can see when effort and harvests actually happen One or two realistic priority changes already underway Accountability contacts set up to support your progress Scheduled check-ins with Sam and the group at weeks 5, 9, and 14 after the initial 4 weeks
This isn’t a “what to plant” course — it’s a how to think about your garden course. Although you will have resources to help you with this for your specific land. Instead of adding more to your to-do list, we focus on: Observing what’s already happening on your land Designing systems that reduce effort over time Aligning your garden with your energy, time, and priorities You won’t be asked to overhaul everything. You’ll be guided to make a few high-impact changes that shift how your whole garden functions.
You’re supported — but within a clear, intentional container. During the course: Weekly structure with one achievable goal to keep momentum Live Q&As (with replays available) A group environment for shared progress and accountability Beyond the 4 weeks: Continued access to Q&A touchpoints (up to week 14) Optional Elite layer for more personalised support (voice notes + 1:1 feedback on your plan) The space is active and supportive — without expecting you (or me) to be “on” all the time.
Start dates will be shared with waitlist members first, this course can be done at any time during the year. Summer, Autumn, Spring or Winter. Each season brings unique thoughts and state of mind of course, but we will be looking holistically at our space over years.
Hi down here
You may be thinking about piecing together all the glorious free content in our podcast or in the many amazing books on growing.
My 100% honest take? There’s nothing wrong with the DIY route. Many of your favourite gardeners – myself included – have found success through good old trial & error across a number of years. Reading lots of books, making plans solo, and reaching out to our community.
But I’m guessing that if you’re here, this approach has only gotten you so far. And it could be leading you to endless social media scrolling....
That’s why I created the Grounded Coaching Course. It’s filled with the steps that are 100% necessary to do in order to design and grow a garden that works for you. And it’s everything I wish I’d known as a gardener in training, all in one handy place. Also its with real people in real time, which could just be the most valuable part!
I you trust the process, and follow the steps, you will have physically started the process of developing your land to give you exactly what you want with accountability.
