Coaching for Gardeners

1:1 Support that grows with you

Tired of Guessing What Your Garden Really Needs?

You’ve got a garden—or you’re just starting one—and you’re ready for real answers, not a dozen possibilities from a Google search.

You want to know your plants are healthy and will actually produce a great harvest this year.

You want to stop wasting time trying to fix problems and start enjoying fresh veggies on your table.

You want clear, easy tips from someone local who understands your garden and your goals.

That’s where my garden coaching comes in

Whether you're just getting started or trying to grow more with what you’ve got, I’ll work alongside you in your garden to give you simple steps, a care plan, and the seasonal know-how to keep you one step ahead—without wasting time on trial-and-error.

Is Coaching for You?

Coaching is perfect if:

  • You’ve recently installed a raised bed garden (with me or on your own)

  • You’re unsure how to care for your plants, when to harvest, or how to handle pests naturally

  • You want tailored support instead of sifting through hours of online advice

  • You’re ready to build your skills month by month to become the gardener that actually uses what they grow—with guidance that fits your garden and lifestyle

How Coaching Helps You

You’ll get to learn alongside me in your garden for:

  • Clear, timely support based on your garden, not a generic guide

  • Personalized planting, tending, and harvesting advice each season

  • Help troubleshooting issues—from yellow leaves to bolting lettuce

  • A confident gardening routine that grows with you

You’ll learn how to:

  • Grow a productive, natural garden with less trial-and-error

  • Know exactly what to do and when to do it

  • Build confidence with hands-on expert advice

  • Make the most of your garden, energy, and investment

    You’ve put care into creating your garden—coaching helps you enjoy the harvest.
