What is a garden coach?

• An experienced, knowledgeable mentor who can help you coax the very best out of your garden.
• A fresh, objective set of eyes, helping you see your garden as it is - and its potential.
• A friendly, helpful advisor who shows you how to perform any and all garden tasks.  Everything from planning and planting, to deadheading, pruning and dividing.
• A gentle critic who will give you honest answers to your questions about your garden decor or planting schemes, and help you identify the changes you can make.
• A guide to help you enjoy the delightful garden you create for yourself!

Who is your garden coach?

• A seasoned gardener with over twenty years of hands-on landscaping and gardening experience with both new and existing landscapes.
• Managing editor (since 2001) for the world's largest garden website, where I:
  • field hundreds of gardening questions each month;
  • help build and edit a plant database of more than 125,000 plants;
  • helped design and now maintain the award-winning Garden Watchdog directory of mailorder garden companies; and
  • keep a personal garden diary and converse with gardeners from around the world.
• A fellow gardener who has learned by trial and error - someone who's made most of the typical mistakes, and learned what NOT to do!
• A mostly-organic gardener, who will give you practical recommendations (with both organic and chemical solutions) for your garden problems.
