Meet GardenWise
Say goodbye to guessing in your garden each month.
GardenWise is a monthly gardening guide designed to help you grow the garden of your dreams, specifically designed for Southern California.
Each month, I’ll send you:
- Monthly Garden Tasks: A detailed menu of what to do in your garden each month—what to plant, prune, or fertilize, how to control pests, when to harvest, and so much more.
- “Plant of the Month”: Discover a new plant each month that’s perfectly suited to your garden. I tell you how to grow it, what to combine it with, and how to help it thrive in your garden.
Gardening in Southern California is different than gardening anywhere else. I’ve spent decades researching and testing the best gardening practices for our region. Now, I share that information with people just like you, so you too can grow a beautiful, thriving, productive SoCal garden.

Hi, I'm Nan Sterman
I’m a botanist, horticulturist, garden designer, expert educator, and so much more. I’ve dedicated my life to teaching Southern Californians just like you how to be successful gardeners.
People ask me all kinds of questions about gardening…
How do I grow vegetables to feed my family?
How can I have a lush garden without a lot of irrigation?
What’s low maintenance, low water, and looks beautiful all year?
Search the web and you get all kinds of conflicting information and advice that simply doesn’t work, especially in Southern California’s unique gardening climate.
That’s why I developed GardenWise. Take the guesswork out of gardening! Now, there’s GardenWise.
