Questionnaire - Awkward Acres

Hi there! We get it. Staring at your yard, or even that one sad houseplant, can feel like a huge task. The internet is full of "must-do" lists, and sometimes it feels like nature itself is judging you. But here at Awkward Acres, we believe gardening (and life) doesn’t have to be perfect to be amazing.

We’re all about embracing the awkward, celebrating small wins, and partnering with nature, not mastering it. We specialize in helping neurodivergent individuals create unique, joyful, and ADHD-friendly nature spaces. We're here to help you find your way. Tell us a little about where you're at right now!

Something else entirely

4. What’s your current "green thumb" vibe? * Aspiring plant whisperer (with a few casualties)
