Beautiful, Sustainable & Edible Gardens Designed for Small Space Success
What is holding you back from the gardening lifestyle you desire?
Doubts are just unanswered questions.
Will I have time to keep up with a garden?
Yes! Gardens designed and planted the Connected Gardener way require significantly less time than traditional gardens. You’ll be able to tend and harvest it successfully in 10–15 minutes a day or less. And instead of running to the store, you’ll be running to your own kitchen garden.
Can I afford this?
There is a garden for every budget and with our guidance, we help you avoid costly mistakes. Plus, gardening is so much more than saving on food. It’s good for your body, mind and spirit—giving you time in the beauty of nature to unwind, pray, move and experience more calm.
What if I’ve tried gardening before and it didn’t work?
Trial and error is part of learning, but with Connected Gardener, you gain the benefit of our experience. Success is built in from the start through the right soil, plants, timing, and systems. We’ll help you avoid common mistakes and get you on the path to a thriving garden.
Who will help me?
We provide individual support, resources, and a community to guide and encourage you every step of the way. Teaching is our passion, and we don’t consider our job done until you feel confident and equipped to succeed.
Connected Gardener is here to help you grow.
Hi, I’m Corrie – the founder of Connected Gardener, and I’m here for you.
I’m a mom, a business owner, a teacher, and a friend. Like you, I’ve faced challenges with eating healthy, staying active, and staying mindful amidst the demands of modern life. Along the way, I discovered that the garden is more than a place to grow food—it’s a place to experience peace and restoration for my soul.
I started Connected Gardener because I know the difference a friend and mentor can make in moving from “Someday I want to...” to “Now I do.” I believe we were designed to thrive through nature, movement, and nourishing food. Yet, the isolation and hustle of modern life often break those connections.
Connected Gardener exists to restore those connections by growing confident gardeners who find joy in cultivating and eating from their own beautiful, abundant kitchen gardens.
Who I Help
Connected Gardener serves clients in the west and far west suburbs of Chicago, helping them grow abundant kitchen gardens tailored to their space and goals. I help busy suburban families, homeschooling parents, anyone curious about gardening but feeling overwhelmed—or seeking healing and renewal through the restorative power of gardening—all united by a desire for a positive, transformative experience.
