He Quit His PhD to Garden In His Backyard

My friend @jacquesinthegarden started out as my neighbor, pursuing a geology phD. Two years later, he’s a full time gardener for Epic Gardening and one of the most skilled garden communicators I’ve ever met. This is his story and garden tour.

  1. Do you do anything differently this year because of the heat? Im in Cali and having a hard time gardening with all the heat beating down on my plants.

  2. This makes me so hopeful that I can develop my property with hard work and the knowledge that you both share. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

  3. You guys arent going to mention the fake snake on top of the chicken coop?! Scared me when it popped up ????

  4. Love my Epic 6-cell trays. I start almost everything for our 50’x50’ no-dig garden in them. They are even good when I have my little 3 and 5-year-old garden helpers around.

  5. This depresses me as a healthcare student by force. Dude is living my dream life. Thanks for the book rec!

  6. I got a PhD in biological sciences, and I just love to apply my knowledge to the garden. I can geek out about soil microbiology, symbiotic relationships, and nutrients all day long :D. I agree though that research and reading a lot is really important in everything you do.

  7. Mannnn, this makes me think, I’m about to start my degree for geology, I’m going for a PhD as well. I’m questioning whether it’s worth it

  8. One day imma be driving around and get all geeked out if i see your guys house on the drive lol

  9. Bro probably already has a bachelors, it’s ok to change your mind about PhD. It’s a but load of time and effort that doesn’t necessarily always pay itself off

  10. Cant believe this community is SUPPORTING all the comments endirsing quitting a PhD. Its a privelige and u took up someone else's spot Plus u shpuld ALWAYS honor your own commitments by finishing what u start. ALWAYS!!!
