Why Learn from
Dr. Nicole Wagner?
For more than two decades, I've studied, taught, and practiced soil science, horticulture and regenerative agriculture. I created The Agroecology School because I believe everyone should have access to practical, evidence-based gardening and land stewardship education — without needing to enroll in university classes nor a degree in agriculture.
Whether you're growing vegetables in raised beds, cultivating flowers, managing a homestead, or simply hoping your plants will thrive, I'll show you not only what to do, but why it works.

What Makes This Course Different?
Most gardening courses teach techniques. This course teaches you how nature works. Instead of focusing on gardening tips and following recipes alone, you'll learn the scientific principles that connect soil, water, plants, microbes, insects, and people. When these connections click, the health of your plants continue to improve, leading to increased nutritious and abundant harvests.
You'll stop relying on conflicting advice and start making confident decisions that help you grow healthier food, create thriving gardens, and work with nature—not against it.
