Hands-On Learning
This is your garden, your work, your harvest. You'll gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to grow food successfully year after year.
How Garden Coaching Works
Initial Consultation & Garden Assessment
We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your garden's potential. During this in-depth consultation, I'll assess your space, analyze your soil quality, evaluate sunlight patterns throughout the day, review drainage and growing conditions, and understand your gardening goals, dietary preferences, and experience level.
- On-site garden assessment (or virtual for remote clients)
- Soil, sunlight, and microclimate evaluation
- Goal-setting conversation tailored to your needs
- Identification of opportunities and challenges
Custom Year-Round Planting Plan
Based on the assessment, you'll receive a personalized planting plan designed specifically for your property and goals. This isn't a one-size-fits-all solution—it's a strategic roadmap for your garden's success.
- Seasonal planting schedule (what to plant and when)
- Crop selection matched to your climate and conditions
- Companion planting recommendations for healthier plants
- Spacing, succession planting, and crop rotation guidance
- Harvest timeline so you know what to expect
Monthly Coaching Sessions (Optional)
Gardening is dynamic—plants grow, seasons shift, and challenges arise. Optional monthly check-ins provide ongoing support as you put your plan into action.
- Progress reviews and garden walk-throughs
- Troubleshooting for pests, diseases, or poor growth
- Updated planting schedules for upcoming weeks
- Technique coaching (pruning, trellising, harvesting)
- Adjustments based on weather or changing goals
- Accountability and encouragement to keep you motivated
