Don't waste another season that you can spend time learning how to plant together

  • Do you want to start a garden, but don't know where to begin?

  • Do you dream of having your kids pick food out of the garden to eat?

  • Do you want to see your kids learn responsibility & see the garden as a great space to start? 

  • Do you not want to waste your time failing at growing a garden? 

You are in the right place.    

I used to be that mom who killed every house plant within a few weeks.

When my 10-year-old son asked many years ago to start a garden, I had to decide that teaching him the life skills of gardening was so valuable that I would push past the failure to try to make it happen. 

That first season of gardening was full of failures. I wish that I had help to know what to do next. 

And that's where the Simple Gardening Method™ with kids comes into your life. It's more than just a basic gardening course. It's a gardening courses for beginners as families.

Here’s what people are saying about the course

From a few beginner gardener moms: 

Jennifer B.

Beginner Gardener

No Garden Skills

"We are a family of 7 and started Alicia's garden online garden class with no garden skills. We have loved learning alongside our kids on what healthy soil looks like, what plants need, and how we can successfully grow some of our own food. It's been so calming and enjoyable for us all."

Jen. D.

Homeschool Mom

"Thanks for letting us do this!"

"We are true beginning gardeners, so much so that we had no idea of what to plant, how the soil needs compost, and when to grow. This class has taught us so much! 


We went from killing everything to growing plants and keeping them alive. My kids have loved the planting. My 13-year-old son told me one day after planting, 'Mom, thanks for letting us do this. That was fun.'


Not only does Alicia organize the online class well, but she cares and is very involved in the success of your garden. We love this class and have learned sooo much!!"

Get to know your teacher,
Alicia DeVore

As a certified teacher, with a master's in education, Alicia taught many years in the public school system before coming home & homeschooling her own children for the past 16 years. 


She started gardening over 10 years ago because of her son's desire to learn. That garden brought so much joy, fun, and food that Alicia continued to learn gardening skills and practices to create her garden dreams. 


Wanting to help others learn to garden and to keep it simple, Alicia got certified as a Gardenary Coach & Designer and started to create gardens for others. But that desire to make this information accessible to everyone, especially the mom who wants to learn with her kids has been a driving force in creating & teaching this course.

Everything is laid out in an easy step by step manner. 

Kristin Escalera- homeschool mom

I have always wanted to start a garden with my children, but get so overwhelmed at the thought of starting it since I consider myself to have a black thumb.


I am super excited about using this gardening course with my children. The videos and course content are beautifully made and I can tell everything is laid out in an easy step by step manner which will make it soo much easier for someone like me. I plan to use this in the fall in our homeschool once we start up again.

Alicia is an amazing instructor who communicates so well with children keeping them engaged and motivated.


She is a walking encyclopedia of gardening knowledge and her availability to consult and dream and troubleshoot problems is truly incredible. I can’t say enough good things about this course and I’m so happy my kids took it and are now ready to blossom into productive gardeners!
