Does this sound familiar?
"I don’t know when or where to start."
Too much conflicting advice. It’s hard to know who to trust or what to do next.
"I'm scared I'll do it wrong again."
Past gardening struggles make me doubt I have a “green thumb.”
"My garden never produces like I hope."
Extreme weather, poor soil, or timing issues make success feel out of reach.
"I just don’t have time to keep up."
Balancing gardening with life feels impossible. I need simple, no-fuss routines.
"Pests & plant problems overwhelm me."
I can’t catch issues early or keep my plants healthy without chemicals.
"I end up wasting what I worked so hard to grow."
Even when I finally get a good harvest, I’m not sure how to preserve it, or I lose motivation.
If any of these sound like you, you’re not alone. The Spring Gardening Summit was created for you.

"This was such a well put together summit. What a wide range of topics. I watched ALL of the speakers and then went back to rewatch the ones that applied to me. What an encouragement to a person who just has containers and two 10’ long planter boxes. Audrey is well aware that some of us have a small area to plant but she made it clear that no matter what size our yard or patio is, we can all become proficient GARDENERS!"
- Joanne

Meet Your Host
Hi, I'm Audrey Crawford!
Gardening has always been more than a hobby for me. It’s a family legacy and a lifelong passion shaped by four generations of growers. Like many gardeners, I’ve experienced the frustration of information overload, failed crops, and not knowing where to start.
Through years of trial and error, I learned that gardening success isn’t about doing more or having the fanciest tools. It’s about focusing on what matters, starting small, and building simple routines that fit your life, no matter your space, location, or experience level.
That’s why I created Audrey’s Little Farm and the Spring Gardening Summit. To help gardeners cut through the noise, gain confidence, and enjoy the process of growing their own food.
Over the past decade, I’ve helped thousands of gardeners move from overwhelm to clarity with simple, practical guidance they can actually use. I’m honored to invite you to the Spring Gardening Summit and join me and 20+ experts for four days of learning, encouragement, and inspiration as you work toward your best garden yet.
Stop relying on generic, conflicting advice. Register for free and get clear guidance, community, and results to help you grow your most successful garden yet!
