I have found that most folks are willing to do their own gardening, but find they lack the basic knowledge needed to perform essential tasks. It is often difficult to get the information you are seeking at nurseries and garden centers. It can be time-consuming to search for the information you need on-line. I offer personalized, one-on-one guidance to home gardeners in their own gardens, teaching
them the skills and imparting the knowledge that they need, so that they can successfully take care of their own landscapes. Some folks are unsure about "what goes where" as as friend of mine put it! I can assist gardeners with proper plant selection for their site, garden design, and ongoing care. I can provide you with a "Prescription" for what needs to be done, when to do it, how to do it, etc. Perhaps you are a devoted gardener, have a vision for your outdoor space, but need an expert eye and some direction? I can bring a fresh set of eyes to your landscape and assist you in renovating an old garden, or creating a new one! Perhaps you are a new homeowner, don't recognize or know what is growing in your landscape, and need help with plant identification and care guidelines. I can provide you with a map and list of what is growing in your landscape, how and when to prune it, when to fertilize it, and any current or potential disease or insect problems and how to deal with them. In essence: I offer professional insight on how to solve problems and make your gardens better! Types of Garden-Related Services I Offer
I design customized gardens such as: Native Plant, Butterfly/Pollinator, Bird/Wildlife Gardens, Rain Gardens, 4-Season/Mixed Plantings , Perennial, Container, Foundation Plantings. I can provide you with plant lists, month-by-month care guidelines, and/or accompany you to plant nurseries for plant selection.
