🌱 Transform your garden planning—and your harvest—season after season.

Is this you?

  • Tried garden planning before but struggled to keep up when challenges like pests, weather, or diseases hit?
  • Ended up with too much of one crop (looking at you, zucchini!) and not nearly enough of the ones you needed most?
  • Felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice from too many sources?


Whether you're growing to save money, feed your family, or simply enjoy a productive hobby, success starts with a solid, repeatable plan. That’s where Plan Like a Pro comes in.


I’m Karin Velez, a home gardener turned market farmer, feeding my family and community for almost 20 years. The techniques I teach in this course helped me transform my own disorganized backyard attempts into a thriving, scalable system that works for any size garden.

Why This Course Works

You’ll learn the same proven process I’ve used to:

  • Plan productive gardens for my family. 
  • Grow enough to supply local families through my CSA and farmer’s market.
  • Adapt to unpredictable seasons and ensure reliable harvests year after year.

This course eliminates guesswork and gives you a clear, repeatable method to plan every season with confidence.

What You’ll Learn

By the end of this course, you’ll have:

  1.  A Complete Garden Map: Know what goes where and when.
  2.  A Planting & Harvest Calendar: Plan for every season.
  3.  Space-Saving Strategies: Use techniques like succession planting, companion planting, and intercropping to maximize your space.
  4.  Resilient Plans: Account for weather changes and seasonal challenges.
  5.  A Garden Journal System: Build on your success year after year.


You’ll master techniques to optimize your space, prevent pests naturally, and create a continuous harvest—all tailored to your unique goals and growing conditions.

FAQ

  • How long do I have to complete the course?

    The course is yours to keep as long as it's offered, and you can work through it at whatever pace you are comfortable with.

  • How long does the course take to finish?

    There are about two hours of instructional videos to work through, plus three hours of replays of previous live trainings. That being said, there is work to do on your part to complete the steps for your garden plan. How long this takes will depend on how large your space is, your experience level, and how frequently you work on it. I estimate most students will be able to complete the course and all its components within three to four weeks, but a dedicated student could be done in just a few days.

  • I'm an experienced gardener. Is this course for me?

    Absolutely. If you've had a gardening year where you didn't harvest as much as you'd like, if you want to preserve but always run out early, if you often find yourself with empty garden space partway through the season and don't know what to plant next, this course is for you. If you're gardening in limited space and want to get higher yields, this course helps with that, too. The only experienced gardener who won't see value in this course is one who has already maximized their space, maximized their harvest, has a detailed calendar of each step of their gardening season, and is perfectly happy with their results!

  • I'm a beginning gardener. Will this course help me?

    This course is designed to take you step-by-step, start to finish, through the planning of your garden. A beginning gardener will get lots of value out of the exercises in this course, beyond just having a solid plan. That being said, this course does not go into how to grow specific plants, plant nutrition, seed starting or any other gardening techniques.

  • Do you offer a guarantee?

    Absolutely. When you enroll you have 24 hours to preview the course. If you decide it's not what you want or expected, email me immediately and I will refund your money. I only ask that you provide feedback for what didn't work for you so I can continue to improve the course.
