"This is course for you if you need a plant and gardening confidence boost!"
“I dived into Sprout School unsure if I'd really understand as I've never really done much gardening. But there I was doing each weeks simple home work, loving the live webinars and boom I've got the confidence to plan my new garden. This is course for you if you need a plant and gardening confidence boost!

"I’m now armed with the ability and confidence to get started"
"A huge thank you to Chloe for such a fantastic resource and online program! We’d spent years looking at a dustbowl of a yard after renovating, and as a complete beginner to gardening I didn’t have the knowledge to know how to begin creating a space that our young family could enjoy. I’m now armed with the ability and confidence to get started and have thoroughly enjoyed the process of putting that knowledge into action and watching the growth. It’s been the beginning of a wider positive change for us all and really getting back to roots with nature one step at a time."

"Sprout School was so much fun and inspired me with a new passion for gardening. You have made gardening accessible by distilling complex information into a really easy format and encouraged us that we've got this. I've always felt like I was missing a big piece of the puzzle, stumbling around a bit in the dark but now it's like I understand all the components, I feel confident and am seeing the results immediately!"
