Planning a garden

What is a Garden Coach?

When “doing it yourself” could use a little help

This site is dedicated to “do it yourself” gardeners who need a little help to instruct, motivate and create their own personal garden spaces. Working with a garden coach can streamline the process of distilling what your garden will look like and define the road map to get there.

Services

Hands-on instruction: Let’s face it, gardens are about doing! Sometimes showing how is much easier to understand than reading about in a glossy magazine. Consultation services include trouble shooting and practical demonstration. Can’t figure out why your compost is not heating up? Why that lemon tree is struggling? Need ideas for creating privacy? Let’s look closer and find a solution together.
