🌿Microgreens Made Easy

This program is for people who like the idea of growing food—but don’t want to become gardeners.

Microgreens are one of the simplest, most forgiving ways to grow something fresh and useful at home. They grow quickly, take up very little space, and don’t require special tools, advanced skills, or ongoing attention. A windowsill or counter is enough, and if life gets in the way for a day, they’ll survive just fine.

In this program, participants plant a single tray of microgreens and learn a straightforward, repeatable system they can realistically use at home. The focus is on what actually matters: what to expect, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to turn what they grow into food they’ll enjoy eating.

There’s no pressure to “do it right,” no complicated setup, and no gardening identity required. Just a small, manageable way to add fresh flavor and nutrition to everyday meals. It’s practical, confidence-building, and quietly satisfying—fresh food without the drama.

Why Microgreens?

Fast, flexible, and surprisingly nutritious.

• They’re rich in vitamins A, C, and K, supporting everyday health as we age

• Their flavor is concentrated, so even a small handful can elevate a meal

• Most varieties are ready to harvest in 7–14 days

• They grow indoors, year-round, with minimal space and effort
