What is garden coaching?
Garden Coaching is 1:1 gardening lessons for anyone who wants to learn how to look after their own garden. It will give you skills for life and the ability to enjoy all of the benefits that gardening brings.
We’ll figure out a plan to create your dream garden. I will adapt to how you prefer to approach things and play to your strengths. We’ll get right “under the bonnet” of your garden to figure out what’s working and what’s not.
Is it expensive?
A small investment in coaching will mean know how to keep your plants healthy and thriving yourself, saving you thousands of pounds replacing plants or getting someone else to do it for you. It’s less than most personal training. See the price list below for the best option for you.
Your taste
Your philosophy
Your lifestyle
Why do I need it?
Buying plants, tools and materials for your garden is expensive, and it can take months for a costly mistake to become apparent. I can save you money and time by giving you the skills and confidence to invest in plants and materials that are the most suitable for your soil, light and wind exposure.
Make new plants for free
I will show you how to successfully propagate hundreds of new plants using simple techniques. I’ll make sure that you have the best chance of success and your garden will flourish under your care.
How to Get Garden Coaching
Get in touch to express your interest in Garden Coaching, and I will give you a 10-minute call back to find out a bit more about you, your garden and what you need.
I’ll send you a quick questionnaire about you and what you’d like to achieve. Once you’ve completed that I’ll ask you to send me a few photos/video of your garden.
We book in your first coaching session! The first one is just 1 hour (£35). Further sessions are booked in blocks of 2 hours.
I will come and meet you in your garden. I will listen to you as you give me a tour and talk to me about your garden.
I can test your soil texture and pH, assess the aspect and conditions, take look at what’s there and and we make a plan for sessions to come.
You choose which is the best option for you from the Garden Coaching Options & Prices (below).
