Garden Coaching
Learn to love your garden by learning “about” your garden.
Working Together
Garden coaching means you have help. Help with the “getting out of hand” bits and the “don't know what to do with that bit”. Advice on how to tackle or change those areas and practical, expert support to make those jobs more enjoyable and rewarding, not to mention halving the work.
We work together. Sessions are tailored to the needs of your garden and to you, enabling you to gain the information and skills you'd like to have in order to enjoy your garden more. Skills such as seed sowing and care, planting out, taking cuttings, pruning and cutting back.
Whether you're a complete beginner, know a little, have a good basic knowledge but feel stuck with how to change or develop your garden, coaching will help. You'll be armed with knowledge, enthused with new ideas and have a new eye for the great things that happen in your garden throughout the year.
Therapeutic
Getting outside and getting busy in the garden can have many therapeutic effects, including just getting some “you time”. Gardening is a great way of helping you deal with illness, grief, depression or difficult times in your life. The combination of doing something, outdoors, with knowledgeable help and some good old fashioned conversational chit-chat and perhaps a cup of tea...... really makes gardening more enjoyable and everyday life a bit easier to cope with.
