Garden Coaching

Do you know what this plant is?  Before you pull it out or spray it, 

let me identify it for you and teach you about how to care for it. 

It's not a weed, it's a Lavender Munstead seedling.

Would you like some help with your gardens? Do you wonder what is growing in your yard? Are you just learning to garden or have you been gardening for years?  If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, a Garden Coach can help you out while saving you time, money and frustration. Garden Coaches are also called Garden Consultants or Mentors and we are different than Landscape Contractors, Landscape Gardeners or similar sounding occupations. My primary goal is to "teach you to be a better gardener."


How does it work? It's easy, I come to your house and work with you in your gardens or yard to help:

• Identify plants, pests or weeds, 
• Show you how to make a garden
• Teach you about organic gardening
• Help you build and tend a vegetable garden
• Design and plant for pollinators and wildlife
• Give you confidence in your gardening skills
• Teach you about how great gardening is and how it enhances your life!
• Give even those seasoned gardeners a new opinion or help them learn new skills.

For a full list of garden coaching services, more on my style of coaching and how I can help you in the gardens, please check out my Garden Coach Profile at the Garden Coach Directory. I am also one of the Moderators of the Garden Coach Directory and help others get their questions answered, their profiles setup and I make sure the various pages of the directory are helpful!

Garden Coaching Services are charged by the hour, with the initial visit typically taking a minimum of two hours. I charge $60.00/hour, plus travel time fee for distances over 30 miles. You can also buy a convenient Garden Coaching Package of 4 hours for $180, which gives you one hour free for each 3 hours that you purchase!

Interested? Send me an email  to set up a time where I can answer all your questions! I can't wait to work with you in your gardens!

Not local to the Front Range Area? I also offer "Virtual Coaching" over the phone and online consultations. I can use photos, video streams and scanned in drawings to help you with your gardening questions and problems.

If you would like to read a great article on "Why use a Garden Coach", I was featured in the November/December 2010 issue of Hobby Farms Home, which you can read at this link:
