Meet Cheryl Spencer, Author of Garden Goal Getter

Hi, I’m Cheryl Spencer. If you’ve ever felt like your garden dreams are just out of reach, you’re not alone.
You imagine a beautiful, thriving space where everything feels peaceful and in balance. But instead, you’re staring at a long to-do list, wondering, “How am I supposed to make this happen?”
I’ve been there too. When I first started gardening, I was juggling everything life throws at you. My garden was supposed to be my escape, but instead, it felt like just one more thing I couldn’t keep up with.
It wasn’t until I started focusing on small, intentional steps—rather than trying to do everything all at once—that things began to change. And you know what? It worked!
That’s exactly why I wrote Garden Goal Getter. I wanted to create a practical, encouraging guide to help you simplify the process, tackle your goals one step at a time, and actually enjoy gardening again. This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about making progress in a way that fits your life, no matter how busy things get.
With over 25 years of hands-on experience and training as a Certified Gardener through Colorado State University, I’ve seen what works (and what doesn’t). But this isn’t a stuffy, technical manual. It’s filled with real-life advice, proven strategies, and encouragement to help you grow a garden you love—without it taking over your life.
If you’ve ever wished for a friendly guide to take you by the hand and show you how to bring your garden dreams to life, that’s what you’ll find in Garden Goal Getter.
Together, we’ll take the overwhelm out of gardening so you can spend less time stressing and more time enjoying the beauty you’ve created.
