Meet Your Host
Hey! I’m Shelby, a gardener with over 20+ years of experience growing vegetables pretty much anywhere. Yes, I was the ‘weird’ college student growing a miniature vegetable garden on my college apartment’s patio. I’ve got the experience and a Master’s degree in agriculture that have given me the knowledge to grow nearly all of my family’s food at home… and that’s saying something considering my husband and I have three hungry kids!
I want you to grow your family’s food at home, too. I created this summit to help you grow a garden worthy of a master gardener. No pests, no more sowing seeds into soggy, clay filled soil. Just a healthy garden full of vigorous plants and bountiful harvests. Besides, who wants to go to the grocery store when you can get what you need right in your backyard?
The Details
When
The Backyard Vegetable Gardener’s Summit will run from April 21-23, 2021 with a variety of presentations to choose from each day.
Where
I don’t know about you, but I prefer to leave my house as little as possible. With that being said, you can tune into the summit from anywhere with Internet access.
Presentations
Presentations will be about 30 minutes in length. The presentations will be available for 24 hours to encourage you to stop waiting for the right time and take action along with hundreds of other vegetable gardeners.
Community
You’ll also have access to a private Facebook group for the summit where we’ll be partying it up before the summit starts and working together to talk about gardening issues and grow better gardens together.
Prizes
As an attendee, you’ll have the chance to win prizes based on engagement, BINGO, and giveaways. In fact, entries are being awarded right now in the Facebook group. Come on in and join the fun!
The All-Access Pass
After registering, you can also upgrade to gain access to the All-Access Pass. That means you’ll get lifetime access to presentations and bonuses. You won’t want to miss it!
Not your average online summit
There are a lot of summits, trainings, and workshops out there. So what makes this one different?
First, this summit was created specifically for vegetable gardeners. This isn’t general advice for any gardener or homesteader out there. Every single presentation is specialized for growing food at home, making it a whole lot more impactful.
But more importantly, we’re not here to add to your plate. Our goal isn’t to throw a pile of strategies at you, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and like you were born with a brown thumb (spoiler alert: you DO have a green thumb).
Instead, we’re here to help improve what you’re already doing by creating healthier soil, getting rid of gross pests and growing massive amounts of food, even if you’re gardening in sand that seems to magically sprout squash bugs and little green worms.

FAQ
It sure is! There are a lot of offerings out there for general gardeners, but this one has been created specifically for vegetable gardening and how you can grow healthy, fresh food in your backyard.
The main portion of the summit runs from April 21-23, 2021. We’ll kick off on April 21, 2021 with an opening call and the Facebook community will be available right when you get your ticket!
Each video will be available for 24-hours. However, you can grab the All-Access Pass to get lifetime access to all of the videos and bonuses!
No way! The only person you’ll get emails from after you sign up is me, Shelby. That’s so you can get all the updates for the summit and links to each day’s videos. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from me, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
As for the speakers, the only way your email address will be shared with them is if you opt-in for their freebie or worksheet during their presentation. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don’t have to worry about getting added to 25+ email lists that you’re not interested in.
Learn more in our Privacy Policy.
To avoid tech glitches, save my sanity, and keep things easy for the speakers, the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at the scheduled time. The live portion comes in with the speakers being in the chatbox for an hour after their presentation is released!
All of our speakers for this summit have been hand-picked and our slots are currently full. However, we’re open to additional affiliates or potential speakers next year’s summit.
