"This guide covers all the things I didn't think about before."
"I wish I had this guide before setting up my first tower garden. I knew I wanted to grow hot peppers, but I didn't think about anything other than the type of pepper seeds I wanted to plant. I didn't think about soil and how I'd water that tower garden on my deck (or what it would be dripping on) so I didn't have a plan for it and there was no water hose nearby! I didn't pay attention to the amount of space I put it in and the plants quickly outgrew my space! This guide covers all the things I didn't think about before. And the workbook helps me to make a plan and capture it in a single place so I can keep it with me in my planting area. I appreciate this guide, Carly, and I am using it now to plan a small raised garden."

Your dream of growing your own beautiful garden is possible right now. Even in the city.
Here's how.
Have you been wanting to cut your own colorful flowers for beautiful bouquets? Have you ever wanted to pick fresh bright red tomatoes and fragrant basil to make your own pasta sauce from scratch? Maybe you've even wanted your own herbal medicine cabinet for the cold winter months.
Many things can hold us back from making these dreams realities--self doubt, lack of knowledge, lack of time, lack of money, lack of resources. That's why I created this toolbox. It is a concise step by step digital guide just for you.
Covering the basics like how to get started, create a plan and vision, get your soil right, and make a plan for watering, will start you off on the right foot. But the toolbox also includes some extra bonuses like how to find the right tools, how to build your best soil, and a workbook to help keep you organized. It even includes a free bonus Spotify playlist, so you can listen to my favorite garden jams while you're out creating!
My favorite part about this toolbox is that you can implement it any time of year. Plants need to be planted at specific times, and it is easy to miss your window. This toolbox lets you create your space now, whatever the season, so that your garden space is ready and waiting for you when it's time to start planting.
"This saved me hours."
"I am an absolute beginning gardener, and this saved me hours wandering around my hardware store wondering what to get. I have a firm idea about where I want my garden, what watering system I want (wasn't even aware of a few of the options), and understand a little more why some of my previous gardens failed. My newest project is a front yard raised bed garden, and instead of feeling overwhelmed, I feel confident because of this guide!"

Hi, I'm Carly.
And I'd really love to help you grow.
I had wanted a garden forever. But it never worked out. I never lived anywhere that could support a garden. When I finally found a place with a small yard, and actual sunshine, I was ecstatic!
Unfortunately, my challenges had just begun. Bad soil, plant disease, and bugs overwhelmed me. My next obstacle was my own health. A lifetime of chronic illness made it hard for me to do lots of things that most people can do easily. Like watering, weeding, and general tending.
Over the years, I was able to learn how to set my garden up to thrive even when I couldn’t. I also learned how to use home grown herbs, fruits, and vegetables to help my chronic conditions, which made my garden even more valuable.
The next problem I ran into was being overwhelmed by my harvests. I couldn’t use everything up before it went bad, and I felt terrible when things I grew went to waste. I knew there must be a way to harvest smart, and preserve my bounty to last all year, which is exactly what I did.
I started The Little Green Shoot first and foremost, to share my love of plants with the world. And secondly, to try to be the resource I wish I’d had for others. I want to show you how to make gardening easy and work for your lifestyle. I also want to teach you quick and easy ways to preserve your harvests and create your own mini homestead, even in the city.
I am passionate about cooking and eating nourishing foods, and love to find new ways to use what I grow or purchase in healthy, and sustainable ways, which is why you'll also see healthy recipes on my site.
Gardening is both an art and a science, and your skills and knowledge grow and evolve with you throughout your entire life. Your garden can be as big or small as you like. There will be good years and bad years, failures and successes, and that’s where both the growing and the fun happens. If you’ve ever thought of yourself as a failure in the garden, you’re not. If you’ve ever thought you would kill every plant, you won’t. If you’ve ever thought you can’t learn, you can. I’m here to teach you.
Wishing you all that is in your best good,
Carly MacQuarrie
"This is an excellent resource for the new gardener."
"This is an excellent resource for the new gardener. In four easy steps you will have your space ready to begin a garden when the right season rolls around, whether that garden is on your balcony, in your backyard or on your homestead. Carly is right when she says, 'mistakes are just lessons to use the following year.' Dream Big!"
