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.
