Let customers speak for us
Just started reading Grown in Shade and already feel like I’m finally getting answers for my backyard. So far this book is explaining everything so clearly it feels like Jemane is talking right to me lol. I haven’t even tried the tips yet, but now I actually believe I can turn my shaded area into something that can finally do something. I was legit thinking about spending thousands to have some trees cut down 80% of my yard is shaded. I'm thinking now we may be able to save that money after reading this 👐. Wish me luck!🤞And happy to support local Florida gardeners especially ones that make great content like Growfitfl. Keep up the great work and appreciate all that you do!
Thank You! I have bought many and I do mean MANY gardening books for the past 15 years. The ideas in this book along with Jermaine's personal stories felt like I was reading an autobiography mixed with gardening from a young man who's figuring this all out and sharing things that are invaluable for health, life, and families. I found the book on Kindle and quickly subscribed to the Youtube not knowing him before reading the book. I see this book becoming a best seller for all the reasons most gardening books are not - Real for the average person. He has figured this out and we all are going to learn from this gifted teacher.
I’ve been following GrowFitFL and RootedInJs for a while now, and I can honestly say I’ve learned more in the past year from their videos than from years of trial and error in my own yard. Jermaine breaks things down in a way that makes it feel possible for anyone, and his wife brings such a beautiful touch to the journey. I absolutely love his new book and guide. My husband, who isn't into gardening, read the book also and now wants to help out more in our small garden. He even told me we should clear space to expand the garden! My daughter and I are implementing the tips from the guide and even printed it out. It's alot of channels but only a few who really knows their stuff and cares and Growfit Jermain is definitely one.
With grocery prices on the rise and store bought food tasting chemically enhanced, Jermaine's book is more than just a gardening manual it’s a survival guide. This was a very enjoyable read clear, straightforward, and to the point. I would recommend this book to anyone curious about the great benefits of starting their own garden.
When this man speaks, you better listen! He practices what he preaches. Get your copy ASAP!
