Loved your tips. There is a huge amount of information available online, guide your viewers to do the research before purchasing plants and getting things in the ground.
Instead of growlights and all those expensive things, you can use the Winter Sowing method. That way the only thing you need are the seeds, small amounts of cheap soil and some bottles like for milk or water or lemonade etc (see through, as mini greenhouses). You put the seeds in the bottles and put them outside in the winter or early spring and don't have to do anything else. They will emerge as soon as the temperature is right for whatever plants you want to grow! Just like in nature happenes. No hardening off or anything! :)
Also, prioritize perennials as they are just buy once and come back every year. I think you said this, but this is even easier than saving seeds! I saved seeds from my favorite tomato plant and even though tomatoes usually self pollinate and are unlikely to cross the ones I grew from that batch did NOT grow true to type at all! It was an adventure though. :)
