Garden Coaching & Design
Have you moved to a new house and don't know exactly what's growing out there?

Can't figure out why nothing will grow in your yard?

Not happy with your gardens but not sure how to change them?

Need help deciding what to plant?

Are you looking to "go green", or simply to stop using chemical pesticides and fertilizers in your lawn and gardens?

You need a garden coach!



As your garden coach, I can help you:

ID the existing plants in your yard, and advise you on what to move or remove

Choose plants for your unique yard conditions

Learn how to improve your soil and create new beds without digging

Find a "green" yard maintenance and gardening approach that suits your property, your lifestyle and also your wallet. 

Plan a short or long-term landscape design for your property

Visualize how your landscape could look, using custom photo designs of your property

Learn how to move and divide your perennials, and prune overgrown shrubs and trees.

I can visit you just once or twice for some quick advice, or help you on an ongoing basis.


I specialize in gardens that attract birds and butterflies, to help you and your kids reconnect with nature

All gardening is local!
Gardening here in New England is a challenge, pitting you against the forces of nature, lots of critters who like to dine on your plants, and the latest exotic pest! It's tempting to resort to chemical warfare to keep your plants looking good. But a lawn and garden doesn't require chemicals or even a green thumb to be beautiful. I will help you set reasonable expectations for landscaping your property, based on its specific conditions, and suggest plants that will thrive in our changeable climate.
