About Us

Garden apprentice is all about learning from the garden, being its student and learning from others.. I have learned so much in my many years of gardening, the most important is that I should have listened to others who learned from their gardens before me. I have wasted so much time trying to do it my way, instead I should have listened to others with experience. Listening to them allowed me to understand my garden so much faster, and led me to the point where I can now listen to my garden, and see what it is telling me. Everyone's garden is different, and learning from others is just the start. You then need to listen and learn directly from your garden.
