Common Questions

Why should I garden?

Gardening benefits include good exercise, healthy food, stress relief, curb appeal, a connection with nature and having fresh flowers for you and the pollinators all season long.

Why did you become a Garden Coach?

I truly want to help you grow good things with an earth friendly focus!

Each garden can be ecolgically productive & sustainable.

Teaching people useful tips & tricks and encouraging them to

get comfortable with plants is what I love to do.

How much does a coaching session cost?

When we work together the first 30 minutes are always free!

Once we get acquainted & agree to continue my fee is $60/hour.

After our session(s) you can contact me with follow-up questions at no additional cost. If you request training on a new area of interest, or a new garden design, I will reinstate the hourly fee based on actual time spent working with you or on your project.

Do you treat lawns or trees? Sorry, no.

I am not a traditional lawn care professional or service provider.

I am not a certified arborist. I do not trim trees.
