WE CAN HELP YOU MAKE YOUR GARDEN BETTER....

DO YOU FEEL OVERWHELMED by the work it takes to build or change your garden? WELL SO DID I….NOW I AM USING THAT AS MY INSPIRATION TO START GARDENCOACHES.ORG. Our  goal is to connect you  with your garden in a special way that reflects your personal values. We do not have a typical client profile of who needs a garden coach, but many of you are new home  owners, new to yard care, or new to eastern New York State. Some of you are experienced gardners that need a new set of eyes to help you revitilze your garden. As gardening coaches we will help you learn about your garden and the different plants  that will flourish there, especially those that are native and well adapted to your climate zone.. As your gardening coach we can offer you many services from restoring  an exsisting garden  to going to the nursery with you to find the right plants for  your  garden. We will identify  your soil conditions and suggest ways to improve your soil. We can suggest types of watering systems to make sure your plants survive and thrive with minimum care. We will provide you with your own Personal Home Garden Guide. Your guide  will be a model of the kind of care your garden needs now, and will  provide future guidance as you gain new knowledge and refine your gardening skills.    

      As your gardening  coach we  differ from landscapers in that we teach you how to do your own work. We start by asking you to  fill  out our Client Survey indicating what you like or dislike,how much time you have to work in the yard,and your goals for your yard. Then we set up an interview to find out what you want to do and how we can help you plan your project. During our first visit, we walk around your yard,identifying what ‘s there and talking about plants in general. We will teach you as we go along, as well as listen to your wish list for your yard. After our intial visit we will write up suggestions for your garden plan and create your personal Home Garden Guide. You decide what you want to do and what you do not want to do.    We can guide you through projects from planting and general garden maintenance to adding  structural elements in your garden. If you have a big project like a stone wall, a pergola, a pond or a waterfall we can offer you referrals, to  reputable companies to do the work and help you to ask the contractors the right questions.. We can provide you with a second opinion for any garden quote you are considering or unsure of. After your installation is complete we will help you select and maintain your  surrounding plants and structural elements.
  Afraid or unsure of what questions to ask your landscaper, we can specify a Landscapers Garden Guide, that will  focus on questions to ask your  landscapers to ensure that you are getting proper care of your lawn and yard. As your gardening coach we suggest a follow-up  visit in  three or four months,to see how your garden is doing and to update  Your Gardening Guide for the next season. Our services can range from helping new gardeners, to hands  on support for an established gardener designing a new space. Depending on your needs, some projects may take a few visits or a few years.
