I have always loved to garden and had a lot of hits and misses with the help of the YouTube library. I am so glad that I got into DIY gardening because, for one, this community comes together to help you with any issues and support all accomplishments no matter how small. Secondly, Megan, our host, is talking from practical, current, and hands-on experience. She takes the time to understand each person's gardening journey and current situation even as she shares her tips and ideas. It's not a one-size-fits-all situation. She takes into account where the person is, their current season, what type and size of garden it is, and even the amount of time someone has available to garden. Thirdly, you are part of a community of fellow gardeners on the same journey, and everyone is very helpful no matter where on the journey they are. I am so glad I joined because I have all the resources in one area and I am talking to and supporting people who are walking the talk and whose goal is to have successful gardens.

New to growing from seeds & blessed to have found Megan!
I’ve been into houseplants and landscaping for 30 years, but am new to growing from seeds and gardening. I wanted to research and learn what I could to be successful. I found Megan and this community and quickly realized this was a perfect platform for me to learn and grow (lol, pun intended). My first time growing a garden from seeds has been more successful than I ever expected! I have Megan to thank for it. She explains things in a way that’s easy to learn. The information is well documented so it’s easy to find later. She is super sweet and extremely knowledgeable! It’s noticeable how hard she works on this community to make it fun and successful for everyone. I’m blessed to have found her & this community! The money for premium information is well worth it and has saved me time & from wasting money on unnecessary supplies. Plus I’m happy to support Megan for her sharing her time and vast knowledge. Did I mention she’s super sweet?

Finbar's got a great ear.
Finbar's got a great ear. He has straightened me out on so many songs. If you're trying to level up, this is the coaching you need. Don't take my opinion. Finbar's got a huge group of followers for a reason.

Pro Gig Academy (Plus) is superb!
I strongly recommend Pro Gig Academy (Plus). I used to play my guitar and attempt to sing like the original artists, which was rarely successful. Finbar has shown us how to adjust the keys and chord shapes to get songs in the right vocal range in order to, ostensibly, be able to sing for a 3-hour gig. Just as importantly he has shown us how develop set lists that crowds enjoy. The entire community is supportive, creative, and on the road to getting gigs.
