What exactly is a Garden Coach?

A garden coach is a garden professional who makes house calls!

Imagine having a personal guide walk through your garden with you, to answer your questions and offer solutions for your horticultural hurdles.  As your one-on-one garden mentor, I can help you become a better gardener.  Whether you want to create a container on your balcony to attract butterflies, design a wildflower garden or just need some ideas to perk up your landscape, I can show you how to cultivate a healthy and beautiful space to enjoy all year.

I’ll work with you to develop and maintain your dream garden at your own pace, within your budget.

 

Are you excited about doing your own yard and garden work but just want a little help getting started or need some guidance along the way? You’ll get friendly personal service in your own home garden. I work side by side with new or even well seasoned gardeners, their families and children.

Let me help you save time and money by showing you how to choose the right plant for the right place to achieve the garden you want!

Are you tired of buying plants that shrivel up and die because you assume you don’t have a “green thumb”?  Do you have aggressive plants that have taken over your yard? Have you had it with the high cost and maintenance of a thirsty lawn?

“I love helping my clients to grow beautiful gardens where people, plants and

wildlife thrive together in a healthy setting.” says Marcia

-  Choose plants that will thrive in your area
