Take it from those who’ve grown with Hélène themselves…
Before I met Hélène…
I didn’t know exactly what to do with my first garden. I felt lost. Hélène, your instructions are simple. You made gardening much, much easier for me. Now, I have 4 different gardens. They are small but productive.
Like my plants, I’m growing every day!
I’m less intimidated by occasional gardening errors. I even revived a few plants that were on their last legs. We are entering spring with at least 100 plants, herbs and seedlings ready to go into the earth. This is insane!
I saved $100 on groceries this week (on May 9th).
My garden is on fire! I have already harvested so much and there is so much more to come. I don’t even think the word abundance makes it justice. The best thing I did this year is taking Hélène’s courses!
Hélène is a gardening goddess.
She fearlessly pushes the boundaries of at-home cultivation in the Outaouais. Her advice is sound; her techniques are proven by year round abundance!

“I thought I was just growing vegetables… but I was really growing a new way of life.”
How It All Started…
I never imagined my life would take such a turn.
I was an award-winning research scientist and engineer, proud of my work but struggling with back pain from too much computer time.
Everything changed when my family moved to a remote Northern First Nation reserve, where fresh produce was scarce and costly. Wanting better food for my family and community, I began experimenting with indoor gardens.
Using my research skills, I designed systems to grow food year-round. It was trial and error, but every green sprout brought hope. I studied bio-intensive, no-till farming to nurture healthy soil and grow food without chemicals.
That’s when I fell completely in love with growing food regardless of the weather — and realized this was my true calling.
Today, I use the same scientific curiosity that once guided my engineering career to help others grow their food all year round. I teach complex concepts in simple, joyful ways so that gardening feels accessible to everyone — whether you’re planting your very first seed or expanding the gardening seasons to harvest under the snow.
Because when you grow your own food using organic methods, you’re not just cultivating plants — you’re cultivating confidence, freedom, and connection with nature.
“Everything changed the day I realized food could grow anywhere — even under the snow.”
When It Finally Clicked, Everything Changed.
Just when I thought my career path was set in stone, life planted a seed I never saw coming.
I had built a successful scientific career — but when I moved to a Northern First Nation reserve, something inside me shifted.
At first, it was just about finding a way to feed my family better. I started experimenting and quickly realized this was about more than just food — it was about independence, resilience, and hope for my children’s future.
Then, one day, it clicked.
All the skills I’d honed as a scientist — observation, experimentation, problem-solving — could be used to push the limitations of gardening. I developed my own method for growing food indoors without chemical pesticides and researched how to extend the gardening seasons in my backyard, and suddenly everything made sense.
If I could grow real, nourishing food in the middle of a northern winter, anyone could.
That realization changed the course of my life.
Today, I help others do exactly that — grow their own food using pesticide-free methods, no matter where they live or what the weather looks like outside. Because when you take control of your food, you take control of your future and teach your kids and grandkids to become more resilient. And now, I show others how to reclaim control over their food and their futures.
“Because you and your family deserve to know exactly where your food comes from — all year round.”
My Proven Strategy for Growing Food All Year Round
I’ve poured my heart and scientific know-how into a simple, sustainable method for growing food—even in the dead of winter. It’s time to start working on your backyard garden.
In The All Year Round Gardening School, over 60 gardeners have used my 5-pillar strategy to:
🌿 Design and build a backyard garden using techniques (without chemical pesticides) that improve soil health
🌿 Plant the right crops for each of the 4 seasons
🌿 Protect crops from snow, hail and frost without having to invest in a heated greenhouse
🌿 Stop wasting time and money guessing what works, and multiply yearly harvests by growing food 12 months a year
No guesswork. Just clear, proven steps that guide you every day, so you can confidently grow food year-round in your backyard.
Follow these five steps and watch your backyard garden thrive: harvest fresh pesticide-free food all year long. Without them, it’s easy to spin your wheels, lose time and get discouraged by the challenges you face in your garden.
This strategy changed my life — letting me grow food with my 3 kids, reclaim my health, and stay connected to nature.
