In 2024, writer & former marketer Jodie Hewson embarked on a mission: to grow a thriving garden. Overwhelmed by billions of books, pages of reading, and the grouchy gardening elite, her first garden sucked a$$.

But she gained one important lesson: the realization that most gardening authors, aren’t writers or teachers.

They’re… gardeners.

Set out to make 2025 a more bountiful year, Jodie has spent months diving into the top gardening books of the industry. She’ll spend the year testing their methods.

Then craft the simplest, easiest paths to abundant organic garden that anyone can follow, in any yard.

My First Garden Sucked, So Yours Doesn’t Have To will help readers:

• Learn the most important decisions you need to make for a low-effort, easy AF garden.

• Get simple, straight-to-the point garden plans with the best plant choices for your needs.

• Build healthy rich abundant soil easily.

• Trouble shoot most garden problems.

• Access simple hacks for your healthiest, happiest plants

• And more!

Like Four Hour Work Week but for your first garden, this quick resource is designed to onboard anyone who has ever dreamed of growing their own food - without wasting money, time, and a season of growing to do it.

Currently in research and documentation phase.

Expected manuscript completion: End of 2025.
