🌱 Harvesting Joy is Here – The Gardening Guide You Didn’t Know You Needed!

Featured, From the Garden, Gardening

Hey Frennn!
What a season it’s been—and maybe for you, it’s just beginning. Over the past few weeks, my newsletter fam has been getting the inside scoop (if you’re not signed up yet, what are you doing? šŸ‘€).

So let me spill the tea:
No, I’m not pregnant—because I know that’s what you were thinking! šŸ˜‚
But I did birth something special:

My brand-new beginner gardening book – Harvesting Joy – is officially available for preorder!

This book has been years in the making—written with love, dirt under my nails, and a whole lot of real-life trial and error. If you have ever said ā€œOne day I will start a garden,ā€ or if you’ve got bags of soil sitting on your patio waiting for the moment—this book is your moment.

Whether you’re an aspiring urban gardener, a first-time plant parent, or someone who just wants to grow tomatoes without crying—this book is for you (or someone you know).

Why I Wrote Harvesting Joy

For years I wanted to garden. I bought the soil. I bought the seeds. I watched the YouTube videos. But I still felt overwhelmed. Then one day—with some gentle nudges from my husband—I finally just started.

My first garden was small. My mistakes? Big. But my joy? Even bigger. Now, I’ve grown everything from cucumbers to collards, expanded my garden space, and created this guide to help you start with confidence.

🌿 Here’s How You Can Support:

  1. Preorder the book right now! The preorder link is here.
  2. Share it with your circle. Got a friend who keeps talking about growing their own food? Tag them. Gift them a copy.
  3. Join my newsletter crew to stay in the loop for sneak peeks, tips, and book signing updates. Sign up here.

This isn’t just a how-to book. It’s a love letter to the land, a confidence boost in paperback, and a joyful reminder that it’s never too late to start. Oh, and did I mention?
šŸ‘‰šŸ¾ The cover is stunning. Like… truly frame-worthy. šŸ˜

Let’s Grow Together 🌱

Harvesting Joy is more than a book—it’s a movement. A moment. A memory in the making.
It’s all gas, no brakes. I’m coming in full bloom—and I want you right there with me.

šŸ’š Thank you in advance for every preorder, every share, every word of support.

Let’s dig deep and grow something beautiful—starting now.

Stay Peachy!
