Coaching

Each coaching session is tailored to meet your needs. We can cover several topics or just one. We can focus solely on design issues or delve into your “how to” questions. Here are some of the ways I have worked with clients. Site Assessment We consider your entire landscape and develop an overall design concept. In our conversation we will discuss your family’s lifestyle preferences and use of the existing landscape, garden features to enhance or eliminate, plants to prune, remove or install, maintenance requirements and your budget. Garden Assessment We focus on a particular portion of your landscape, for instance the front entry or patio area or perhaps an entirely new garden, and discuss how to approach the project. We cover design alternatives, plant selection and color palette as well as identifying plants to keep, transplant, divide or add. Containers Combining the right plants, the right container and the right soil mix is the key to creating containers that provide satisfying results all season long. I can help you make the match for containers big and small.

Hands On

You know what needs to be done; now it’s time to make it happen. Only your gardening skills need a little help.  Let me help you build your skills, through Hands On sessions where we “dig in” together. Gardening Basics If you are new to gardening or just want a refresher course, I can teach you how to plant, fertilize, water, deadhead and mulch your gardens. We also can take a look at your tools and discuss tool selection and care. Pruning If you have avoided pruning your shrubs or have been unhappy with past results, I can help you improve your skills. Plant Shopping Have you returned home from a plant shopping excursion only to discover you selected the wrong color or size plant? We can travel to a local nursery where I will show you how to pick the plants you need. Prices are based on your specific needs and situation. Please call or e-mail me to discuss your options.
