                                                                                        I started as a young gardener who was passionate about growing food. What began as sharing
                                                                                        my knowledge in YouTube videos has grown into more than I could have ever imagined. In

                                                                                        focused on those three essential pillars. Through MIgardener’s multiple social media platforms
                                                                                        and becoming a published author with my book, The Autopilot Garden, we have reached more

                                                                                        MIgardener could not be what it is today without the team that has helped deliver the quality

                                                                                        It took a lot of relationship-building to place a lifelong project in a stranger’s hands. However,
