Your dream of growing your own food in the city is about to come true.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
You've dreamed of growing your own food, but have no idea where to start.
You've tried before, but it didn't go well, and now that dead garden fills you with dread every time you walk past. Or maybe you've been too overwhelmed to even start a garden at all.
Other people make it look easy. But for you it has been anything but. You thought the hardest thing was going to be planting, but as it turns out, that was just the beginning. Then there were weeds. Bugs. Forgetting to water. Bad soil. Crazy weather. Maybe you got super busy, or didn't feel well, and things just went downhill from there.
And now you just feel like you must be missing something.
You're not alone.
Most beginning gardener's feel this way. The truth is that having a thriving urban homestead is a game changer, and one that will give you better health, more connection to your community, and the pure joy and satisfaction of growing your own food.
The problem? Lack of skills and knowledge, lack of time and resources, and lack of believing in yourself, often make achieving this dream of self sustainability more trouble than it's worth.
But what if there was a way to make sure you got it right?
“The Little Green Shoot showed this southern girl how to make gardening FUN again.”
"I was getting so frustrated with my limited space and was spinning my wheels with loads of gardening fails. But, now—thanks to Carly & her little bag of tricks—I’m growing onions, tomatoes, herbs, & all the things that I didn’t know I could grow on my rocky patch of earth. The Little Green Shoot showed this southern girl how to make gardening FUN again."
-Brett DuPree, Busy Working Mom, And New Gardener
CONSIDER WHAT'S POSSIBLE...
Imagine having a home grown grocery store, right in your own backyard or balcony.
HERE'S WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE....
- Less time in line at the crowded, stressful grocery store.
- More sustainability with the relief of knowing your shelves are fully stocked with wholesome home grown food.
- Healthy food for you and your loved ones.
- More money in your pocket instead of paying the price of rising food costs and shortages.
- Stronger health from fresh air, moving your body, and getting your hands in the soil.
“The Little Green Shoot is the 'fertilizer' my garden life needed.”
"The Little Green Shoot is the 'fertilizer' my garden life needed... Every little tidbit of information shared is intentional and helpful, and will absolutely be a game changer in your garden.” ♥️

Hi, I'm Carly!
And I would love to help you grow.
As a plant lover from way back, I used to be so frustrated that I was not able to have a garden of my own. It seemed to be one setback after another, from lack of space, time, and money, to lack of skills, knowledge, and resources. Then there was the overwhelm of troublesome soil, pests, disease–not to mention the stress of harvest season! On top of all that, battling chronic illness made every day garden tasks challenging for me.
I knew there had to be a better way, and I found it. Years of learning, research, and trial & error led me to create this 7 Step Proven Process for Urban Homesteading to change failures into successes.
I am so excited to offer this course. As a certified teacher of nearly 20 years, and a lifelong gardener, I know exactly how to show you the way. Let me save you the trouble, and share my process with you.
“One of Carly's gifts is that she's a natural teacher, and she'll save you the stress and failure of starting an urban garden on your own.”
"Carly's advice and encouragement has been so helpful in starting my garden this year. Last year, my garden was doomed before it hardly began, and I was so discouraged. But Carly posts helpful tips and strategies every day, and each nugget of information has helped me take one step after another to do better this year. One of Carly's gifts is that she's a natural teacher, and she'll save you the stress and failure of starting an urban garden on your own. I can't wait to keep growing with her!"
–Heather Levin, Tennessee Homesteader

"We loved the encouragement we received from Carly at The Little Green Shoot when we were on the fence about starting our farm stand. The Little Green Shoot gives you the gentle little nudge in the right direction when it’s time to take action with your gardening and homesteading goals."

“The first time I saw Carly teach at the Backyard Vegetable Gardener's Summit, I was hooked! Her ideas and methods for growing food in small spaces are so refreshing.”
"I have been gardening for over 20 years and I am a retired high school agriculture teacher. Suffice to say, it's not often that I see something new when it comes to gardening or growing food. However, the first time I saw Carly teach at the Backyard Vegetable Gardener's Summit, I was hooked! Her ideas and methods for growing food in small spaces is so refreshing.
I've actually used a few of her methods in some of my gardens this year and I can already tell that the amount of food I've been able to produce has doubled, if not tripled, over last year! I'd recommend this course (and anything she has!) for a gardener of any experience level—new beginners, or seasoned pros like myself!"

Homestead In The City empowers you with the skills and support you need to create a beautiful, productive homestead.
This is the course you need to spend less time at the grocery store, save you from increasing grocery costs & shortages, and provide healthy meals for you and your loved ones. Being in your garden will give you fresh air and exercise, more sustainability, and a feeling of joy and pride whenever you see it. But your garden will also give you a stronger connection to your community. Being outside more will have you chatting more with the neighbors. Sharing your bounty with them at harvest time is a beautiful way to build and nurture your own community.
You will also become more creative in the kitchen, as you grow new and exciting produce. Gardeners aren't limited to whatever varieties the stores chooses for them. Imagine slathering some homemade bread with fresh, bright homegrown pesto, and layering it up with some gorgeous, vibrant, purple heirloom tomatoes. Yum!
Gardens also provide the best free gifts for your friends and family. Constant easy access to beautiful, thoughtful gifts from your garden makes going to parties so much easier. You will love the joy you spark on your friends faces as you bring them a dazzling homegrown bouquet or a basket of home grown strawberries.
Gardens are also fun! We all need more of this! You might be surprised by how many of life's little wonders you discover in your garden. And lastly, you will learn so many new skills. Gardening is a metaphor for life, and there is so much to learn. You will never get bored as you keep searching out and gaining new knowledge and skills. Gardening is an ever evolving life skill that always gives you a perfect opportunity to get things right next year.
