FLORUM will help you achieve the results you’re after with confidence.

What is garden coaching?

Clients reach out for a number of reasons:

• Seeking help with an overgrown garden that lacks interest or focus

• To identify existing plants, and instruction on how to care for them

• Brainstorm ideas for organizing or creating space to meet your needs

• Diagnosing pests, diseases or other problems in the garden

• They’re hoping to take on more of their own gardening, but need some one-on-one advice

• They just bought a new home and want to know what’s there

• Seeking creative plant options for newly-renovated or disturbed areas

• Options for reducing maintenance or maximizing sustainability

• For a little help sorting things out and answers on how to overcome landscaping challenges

• Looking for prompts to help them think outside the box

• In need of a knowledgeable second opinion from someone standing in their shoes and looking at their options from their perspective

I’m very hands-on and visual, always showing up with my truck full of tools so I can demonstrate exactly how to complete a task, such as how to prune a certain shrub or small tree, or how to flag out an area for a new bed and digging in.

Where do we start?

An initial consultation lasts 60 to 90 minutes. We meet in your garden to make an assessment, identify what projects or skills you want to conquer, and go from there. That and a written report may be enough, or, we can schedule when to work together to build these skills— the exact frequency and duration of coaching sessions will vary depending on your specific goals
