ever felt frustrated by your gardening efforts, are just beginning your gardening journey, or need a fresh pair of eyes to help with design, The Gardening Tutor can help. The Gardening Tutor Story:
Becoming The Gardening Tutor happened after I graduated from college with a degrees in Landscape Management and Horticulture Therapy. As I drove around my Sonoma County community, I kept seeing gardens that had been installed by contractors or by the homeowners themselves that in just weeks most of the plants looked sad and were not thriving. I thought, "People just need a little one-on-one tutoring to know what to do with their plants ". And The Gardening Tutor was born!

There is alot of shearing and pruning that can be done in August, leaving enough time for plants to fill back in for an abundant fall garden.
