Meet the Founder
Meet Sharon Leigh Gaither
I am a retired U.S. Army veteran, Soil-Less Indoor Garden Consultant & Coach, Founder of Sustainable Gardens 365 Movement, and creator of the Seed-2-Plate™ Method.
My journey into indoor growing began after facing personal health challenges and growing concerns about food quality and recalls. My mission became even clearer when I saw soldiers relying on a food pantry at a large military installation. It reminded me that food insecurity can affect the very families who serve our country.
SG365M is not a hobby or trend. It is an educational initiative created to help individuals, military and veteran families, and communities build food confidence by learning how to grow fresh food indoors—regardless of their space, location or previous gardening experience.
Through hands-on experience with mason jar hydroponics, countertop smart gardens, hydroponic grow pails and vertical growing systems, I help beginners find a practical growing solution that fits their lifestyle, budget and goals.
The Seed-2-Plate™ Method guides growers through five practical stages: Seed, Start, Grow, Harvest and Plate—connecting the growing experience with fresh food, nutrition and wellness.
I am presently enrolled in AFPA’s Master Level Nutrition Coach Certification program, strengthening the nutrition and wellness education I bring to this work.
