Meet SB Garden Project Owner/Founder, Nicole Goldman
After more than ten years working and teaching in Santa Barbara schools, Nicole Goldman traded the classroom for her true passion: the home garden. Her roots in education and teaching has since shaped how she approaches her business: she breaks gardening down into clear, doable steps and helps you build real skills, not just a pretty yard.
Getting Started Is Easier Than You Think…
Your gardening journey begins with a free 20-minute call. Fill out a short intake form, and owner Nicole Goldman will get to know your goals, your space, and your experience level, whether you’re a first-time gardener or managing a property that needs a garden with purpose.
Book A Call With Nicole
We’ll then spend one hour together discovering the possibilities of your outdoor space, troubleshooting any concerns, and dreaming up a vision for your organic kitchen garden. After the consult you’ll receive a summary of what was discussed and a plan detailing next steps.
Build Your Garden Plan
Once your garden is in, you’ll enjoy bountiful harvests and something even better: the confidence of knowing what to do next. Want more help along the way? Nicole’s on-site coaching packages are tailored to your needs and offer hands-on guidance throughout the growing season.
Enjoy Your Harvest
Raised beds designed around you, your yard, and the way you live.
Each bed is tailored to your space & sun, easy to maintain, and charming enough to be a feature of your outdoor living area, not just a place to grow vegetables.
What People Are Saying About SB Garden Project…
“Nicole is a delight to work with. She's wildly enthusiastic about turning all parts of your outdoor space into usable garden real estate. I particularly appreciated how she looked at our space as not just a place to grow plants, but a place to learn and share time as a family, through nature.”
Victoria F.Nicole is a stellar garden coach! She taught me how to grow my own salad greens & I learned so much about why my efforts to grow herbs + veggies in the past had failed. I was left feeling confident that I know how to take care of the seeds we planted together… and comforted knowing I can ask her questions if anything goes wrong! Highly recommend her for anyone looking to start a garden or help maintaining one.
