Harvesting Joy Book – Now Available on Kindle & Amazon

Hey frenns! My beginner’s gardening guide, Harvesting Joy is NOW available.

After months of dreaming, digging (literally and spiritually), and sowing every ounce of my love into this project—I am beyond thrilled to announce that my book, “Harvesting Joy: A Beginner’s Guide to Gardening,”is officially available RIGHT NOW on Kindle and Amazon! Yes, that is correct, it is available on Amazon to ship AND on Kindle to download. You can purchase it directly on Kindle and Amazon.

I have been working tirelessly to get this book not only in your hands but in MINE. Seriously. Self publishing is NOT for the faint of heart. It is 1,001 teeny tiny steps. But they were all worth it. This was not about being a perfectionist- I left that girl in 2020 where she needed to stay. This was about making sure the user experience was good. And now I somehow think I have mastered ‘how to self publish a book without losing it completely’ (a workable title if you will, LOL). No, but seriously. It’s here.

I know that there are people who think- ‘I cannot garden at all.’ You are EXACTLY who this book is for. I break it completely down step by step. Starting at “dirt.” The literal foundation. Or you may also be thinking- ‘I don’t have enough space’- never fear- I teach container gardening, raised bed gardening, gardening in pots- ALL DAT. I have selected what I believe are the EASIEST things to grow. This is for YOU. The Beginner.

I know that many areas across the country have already started gardening. It’s STILL not too late for you to get started. Or if you have already started and you need a boost and some suggestions- I have tips for dealing with pests. I have advice on how and when to harvest. I have advice on boosting your harvest. If you do not know where to begin I suggest whether to start from seed or starters. How to properly harvest. ALL OF IT IS IN THE BOOK.

This book was created with beginner gardeners in mind—and if you’ve ever wanted to grow your own food, reconnect with the earth, or just feel more grounded, this is for you.
