GARDEN COACHING

Did you start a project and need help completing it? Would you benefit from some expert advice to avoid costly mistakes? When you need advice but don’t require a design, Garden Coaching is your answer. Our experts will travel to your home and advise you with your garden projects. This service is $100 per hour (including drive time) depending on your coach choice. Garden Coaching may include: recommendation of plant selections for your site, development of your “garden style” ideas to extend your bloom season, and recommendation of garden structures and décor to complete your look. Payment is due upon arrival of site.
