Garden Coaching

Ongoing support for home gardeners who want real results and a garden they love coming back to

You've started your garden, or maybe you're just getting going, and you're ready for something more than Pinterest boards and scattered advice.

You want to grow food that actually makes it to your table.

You want to stop second-guessing what to do each season.

You want a rhythm, a plan, and a coach you can turn to when you're stuck.

That's where I come in.

I offer several coaching paths—virtual, in-person, and one-on-one—to meet you wherever you are in your garden journey.

Whether you’re troubleshooting tomatoes or dreaming of backyard abundance, working with a garden coach can help you:

  • Grow a thriving, natural vegetable garden with more ease and less trial-and-error

  • Know exactly what to do in your garden each month based on what matters most right now

  • Build confidence through hands-on support, expert guidance, and seasonal structure

  • Make the most of the time and money you're already investing
