Coaching & Consultations

Where to begin? If you're starting from scratch, I'll help you make sense of it all, from selecting plants that will thrive in your garden's conditions to placing them appropriately -- and everything in between.

If you're already established and just want to learn how to prune, propagate, divide, harvest, or manage pests and diseases, I've got you covered there, too.

I practice  integrated pest management and will coach you on xeriscaping, native plants, vegetable gardening, deer-resistant, pollinator-friendly and other gardening methods.

And there's no long-term obligation: Grab me for an hour a week, a single session or a half-day garden evaluation and recommendation consult -- or once per month, season or year. Or get a group of friends together for a one-time course on a topic of interest. 

Garden talks

Coaching & Consultations

Coaching & Consultations

I'll work with you to select a topic that resonates with your library patrons, garden club, botanical garden,  flower show, community, school, assisted living home or other group.  Specialties include History & Horticulture, growing tomatoes, plants for the winter garden, xeriscaping and more. Interested in something else? Let's talk!



 

TV & Media


 I'm available for TV, radio and podcast segments and media interviews on a variety of  gardening topics, including:

 

  • New products and plants
  • Spring/fall lawn and garden care
  • Planting and growing tomatoes
  • Plants with winter interest
  • Xeriscaping
  • Customized topics


Need ideas? Having spent more than 25 years as a journalist, I can help come up with a topic that will resonate with your audience.
