When to Call a Gardening Coach
“The Earth is what we all have in common.” Wendell Berry
When might you call in a gardening coach?
- You want help to identify and evaluate the plants on your new property.
- You want to add curb appeal and help beautify the neighbourhood and city.
- You look around one day and realize your garden has become a jungle.
- The mighty ash trees that once shaded your garden have gone, and the hostas are frying.
- You want to add more native plants and pollinators to make your garden vibrant with life.
- You’d like a rock garden or other special garden.
- The garden lacks all-season interest and you want to do something about it.
- The garden needs a tune-up – ideas about what to add/subtract from the scene, a chance to try some new, perhaps more unusual plants.
Any time is good for a consultation. However, different features can be observed at various points in the season. Also, some garden tasks are better done in spring and others later on.

It’s never too early to share the gardening with kids. They love being your helpers.
