As a third-generation gardener, I’ve always had my hands in the soil and its the deepest connection you can make to the natural world.

Frequently asked questions
What if the Fresh Exchange membership isn’t for me?
We believe strongly in what we have built at the Fresh Exchange Community. Our content and community need one whole season (aka three months) to be fully enjoyed. This is why we ask all members to commit to 3 months with us. If you do not feel fully satisfied at the end of the three months, we are happy to chat about a refund and learn more about how the community and courses didn’t meet your needs.
If you want an idea of what is inside the community before committing, feel free to sign up for one of our Free Workshops or take our Free Herb Garden Couse.
What kind of Gardener are the community and classes for?
This community is meant for all types. There is extensive content and information to take in, which means it allows you to find new tips and ideas from Megan that will help expand your knowledge. Not to mention our members are always opening up new ideas, conversations, and more. This means that what there is to learn is always adapting and changing for those in the community, whether it be a new conversation, new event, or course material.
What if I am just a Beginner Gardener?
Our community loves beginners. In many instances we all are beginning and learning every year in the garden. We take this approach because it allows us to remain open and learn without judgment or ego. Gardening is meant to be fun! If you are a beginner, you will feel completely at home here. Just because it is a community doesn’t mean you always have to contribute. We suggest beginning with our Beginner Gardener Course and then building up from there with your knowledge. We also stand by the community concept that there are no bad questions!
How much time does this involve?
We designed everything in the community to be at your pace. Though we have many members, there is a good portion who observe. You can jump in and out as it is right for you and your time. Our events are always recorded, and our courses are easily done from your phone or on the move. We are busy people ourselves in the community, so we have tried to make it as bite-size as possible for anyone in any situation. Jump in however is right for you!

“As a very beginner gardener who moved from a city to a rural area with a desire to grow things, Fresh Exchange has been an invaluable resource in guiding my way. The online courses and downloads provided everything I needed to know how to design and plan my very first garden. ”
