We’re writing a book about our Transformational Gardening method, and your garden could be part of it! We're looking for vibrant, high-quality photos from past seasons, along with short stories, quotes, or reflections about your experience using the Deep Roots approach.
We’re collecting photos and stories from Deep Roots gardeners!
Help us tell the story of “Transformational Gardening”
Are you proud of your Deep Roots garden? Have you watched your soil come alive, your plants thrive, and your harvests flourish using our method? We'd love to see it — and share it with the world.
Your garden doesn’t need to be perfect — just real. We want to show the range of what’s possible when people follow a method that nourishes the soil, supports biodiversity, and uses 100% compost and natural fertilizers like worm castings and fish emulsion.
What we’re looking for:
Photos of your food garden at any stage — early spring prep, lush summer growth, fall harvests, even compost piles!
Comments about what changed for you after using the Deep Roots method — easier growing, better harvests, fewer pests, more joy?
Short stories or anecdotes: What surprised you? What made you smile? What would you tell a new gardener?
Need a refresher on our method?
Check out our foundational blog posts here:
These 14 blog posts cover everything from raised beds and compost to watering, biodiversity, and our unique approach to pest control — all essential elements of Transformational Gardening.
