What is a Garden Coach?
Think of me as your personal mentor in the garden. On-site and tailored to you. Certified as a Professional Horticulturist (CPH), I bring over 15 years of garden experience from nurturing soil to full landscape design. The basic of sustainable gardens to the designer touches that transform a garden from the ordinary.
What can a Garden Coach do for you?
Have you walked through your garden and brainstormed ideas to do. Maybe their are those moments of wondering what is wrong with that plant...how do I cut that ornamental grass or when?
That pile of garden books and magazines just don't seem to address your personal needs, they inspire but...now what? Where do I begin? The bounty of Internet information is there but just isn’t the same. You are still stuck and wonder how to make it happen for you.
This is where I can come in and help. Let's personalize it all and walk through your garden with hands on help and up close and personal assistance.
Do it yourself landscape design: Planning is one of the best beginnings you can do for landscape design. I can guide you through the process right up to a full-scale hand rendered drawing. Plant driven and personalized, a design is like your road-map, it will guide you, save you money and give you long-range planning and concepts.
A recent client profile: a young couple in their home ready to take on their landscape in need of renovation. We did some on-site time and came up with ideas. I followed up with a drawing and the homeowners have worked thru the process over a few seasons. They have called on me briefly a few times as they were progressing as needed, all of their hard work is now beginning to take shape. The yard is now their own personalized space for outdoor entertaining and family fun.
New Homeowner: This is a great time to become familiar with your new landscape. I can ID plants, give advice and instruction regarding nurturing your garden.
Newly installed landscape: Let me show you how to take care and share with you the evolution of your new landscape.
Hands on teaching: Pick a day in the garden with the kids and we can have a fun session to teach how to pull weeds, care for plants, learn about soil, good bugs and bad bugs and all the things a garden needs.
Inspiration sessions: Needing inspiration and bounce ideas off to head in the right direction. Think existing borders that need TLC or renovation. How about removing the lawn for a eco-friendly water wise space, Lets design it. We can sketch ideas and come up with a plant shopping list.
