Hi, I’m Kareen Erbe.
I’m a cold climate gardener, permaculture educator, garden design consultant and owner of Broken Ground. I help people in cold climates grow their own food so they can cultivate more resilience. I’ve taught thousands of people through my workshops, both live and online, and have consulted with aspiring gardeners for almost a decade.
It’s my mission to get as many people as possible building a resilient life that enables them to not only live their values and connect to their community but to feed their families safe and healthy food.
I live with my family on a suburban homestead in Bozeman, Montana, with large vegetable gardens, a food forest of fruit trees and berry bushes, a greenhouse, a pond and a flock of chickens.
Even with our short and unpredictable growing season, we manage to grow a good portion of our own food.

When I first entered the world of gardening, I was intimidated by everything I needed to learn. I took classes, volunteered on farms, read books and watched videos.
But it wasn’t until I actually had my own garden and put seeds in the soil that I really gained the confidence with my gardening skills.
I certainly didn’t start with a full-blown homestead!
I began on a small plot at a rental property, then expanded to a community garden, until eventually we were able to move into our own place. Like any gardener, there was a lot of trial and error along the way, as I figured out my site, my soil and what varieties did well in this climate.

The Key is to Build a Garden you Can Grow Into
Most people, when they want to start gardening, get overwhelmed with “getting it all right.”
They think they need a lot of space, or that they need to have a ‘green thumb.’
After gardening for almost 15 years and teaching and consulting with hundreds of clients, here’s what I’ve discovered: when you’re starting out, all you need is a “Starter Garden”, a small plot to get you comfortable, confident and growing food straight away. Starting small and growing into your garden is the best way to ensure your long-term success.
And with just a bit of guidance and hand holding, it’s easier to get started than you think. Here are some of the key details you need to get right:

I couldn't recommend more ANY class/workshop/consultation with this wise, funny, knowledgeable and effective teacher. Kareen knows her stuff and shares it beautifully. - Heather Baughman |
Kareen provided incredible guidance and information, but also put me in the driver’s seat and gave me the confidence to envision and build my new garden space. I no longer feel that all of my time is spent weeding and digging. Now I’m continuing to build a functional space, and it’s become so much more fun. |
