Saturday, April 4, 1-4pm, Bozeman
Let’s get your garden started! Even if you live in a cold climate and have never grown a veggie in your life!
Discover my simple FIVE-part framework for getting a garden planned in a AFTERNOON!
If you love the idea of feeding your family fresh homegrown veggies from your garden but you’re just not sure what it takes to make it happen…
If you’re intimidated by the short growing season and don’t quite know where to start…
And if you’ve been holding back from starting your garden until you can get it just right….
I want to help you jumpstart your garden this spring!
Whether you’re new to cold climate gardening or you’ve tried but have had limited success, let’s get homegrown veggies on your plate this growing season, while making it simple, fun and easy.
Hi, I’m Kareen Erbe.
I’m a cold climate gardener, permaculture educator, garden design consultant and owner of Broken Ground. I help people in cold climates grow their own food so they can cultivate more resilience.
I’ve taught thousands of people through my workshops, both live and online, and have consulted with aspiring gardeners for over 15 years.
I live with my family on a suburban homestead in Bozeman, Montana, with large vegetable gardens, a food forest of fruit trees and berry bushes, a greenhouse, a pond and a flock of chickens.
Even with our short and unpredictable growing season, we manage to grow a good portion of our own food.
When I first entered the world of gardening, I was intimidated by everything I needed to learn. I took classes, volunteered on farms, read books and watched videos.
But it wasn’t until I actually had my own garden and put seeds in the soil that I really gained the confidence with my gardening skills.
I certainly didn’t start with a full-blown homestead!
I began on a small plot at a rental property, then expanded to a community garden, until eventually we were able to move into our own place. Like any gardener, there was a lot of trial and error along the way, as I figured out my site, my soil and what varieties did well in this climate.
The Key is to Build a Garden you Can Grow Into
After gardening for almost 20 years and teaching/consulting with hundreds of clients, here’s what I’ve discovered: when you’re starting out, all you need is a “Starter Garden”, a small plot to get you comfortable, confident and growing food straight away. Starting small and growing into your garden is the best way to ensure your long-term success.
Here are some of the key details you need to get right:
- What to plant
- When to plant
- Where to plant
- How to plant
INTRODUCING:

An in-person group workshop that will give you the knowledge and confidence to plan and start a garden this spring so you’ll be eating fresh veggies this summer!
Using my 5-part “Starter Garden” framework, we will get your garden planned, a list of seeds for you to order, and a concrete plan for what you need to do in the spring.
Expect to walk away from our time together with the knowledge and confidence to make planting in the spring simple, fun and easy.

Kareen provided incredible guidance and information, but also put me in the driver’s seat and gave me the confidence to envision and build my new garden space. I no longer feel that all of my time is spent weeding and digging. Now I’m continuing to build a functional space, and it’s become so much more fun.
