I'm Steven Biggs
Horticulturist, Author, Educator
I host these courses and events. My passion is food crops and edible landscapes. I’m a horticulturist, horticulture instructor, broadcaster and author. But what really makes me tick is my home garden.
Over the years, I’ve transformed my own backyard into a productive garden area, using container gardens, trellises, straw bales, and creative layouts to maximize every bit of space.
Garden Making Magazine recognized me as one of the “green gang” making a difference in horticulture. I do stuff like turn my front lawn into an edible landscape, create a rooftop kitchen garden, transform a driveway into a straw-bale vegetable garden—or collect 50 varieties of fig trees (where they’re not winter hardy!)
I’ve written for Mother Earth News, Fine Gardening, Garden Making, Country Guide, and other magazines. I’m the author of a bunch of gardening books. And I love teaching. Put me in front of a college class or garden club and I get a real kick out of framing ideas in a way that’s easy to understand.
There’s no big production company behind my courses. You can expect great content without industry jargon or the latest woo-woo trends from social media. I keep the live online events small because I treasure the connections that small groups foster.
Please don’t sign up for my courses if you want dry textbook stuff. I don’t always go by the book. But do sign up if you’d like to take food gardening outside the box. It’s fun. I promise.

FAQ
-
I’m a beginner. Are the courses at my level?
Yes. The courses are suited to beginners. They’re also a fit for gardeners who have some experience but want to take their growing up a notch.
-
How long do I have access to the online content?
You have unlimited access for 1 year.
-
How do the live programs work?
We meet on Zoom. It’s a meeting, not a webinar. That means that if you want, you can leave your camera on. I like doing it this way because it’s more personal. (But you can leave your camera off if you prefer.)
The Zoom link is in the online class area. You get access once you’ve registered. We also send out the link ahead of time. -
I have questions about the courses. How do I find out more?
Just email me. Use the button above.
-
I need a certificate to use for continuing education credits. Can I get one?
Yes. You’ll automatically get a certificate when you complete a course.
-
What currency are your prices in?
Canadian dollars.
(Which might make this even better value if you're outside of Canada! Even though many online businesses worldwide charge USD...I just don't like paying USD when shopping in Canada. That's why I charge C$.) -
What if this isn't for me?
There’s no risk.
