I’m Taylor Costa, Creator and Chief Author of The Garden Prepper. Gardening isn’t just a hobby to me — it’s a lifelong passion that has shaped how I live, think, and connect with nature.
I started The Garden Prepper as a dedicated space to share everything I’ve learned (and continue to learn) through my own hands-on gardening experience. From struggling with poor soil in my early days to now cultivating seasonal vegetables, native plants, and pollinator-friendly flowers — every step has been a lesson worth sharing.
Through this platform, my mission is simple:
To empower home gardeners of all levels with practical tips, science-backed methods, and sustainable gardening practices that lead to healthier plants and more rewarding harvests.
Whether you’re growing food for your family, starting your first raised bed, or just trying to keep your herbs alive on a balcony — you’ll find down-to-earth guidance here that’s rooted in real-world experience.
What you can expect from The Garden Prepper:
- In-depth how-to guides tailored for different climates and spaces
- Advice on pest control and organic gardening techniques
- Reviews of tools and products I’ve personally used
- Timely gardening calendars and seasonal tips
- Insights on composting, soil health, and sustainability
More than just a blog, I see this website as a growing community of like-minded people who believe in the power of nurturing the earth, one garden at a time.
Thank you for being here — and happy planting!
– Taylor
