1 Hour Backyard Garden Consult
This is where your journey to becoming a gardener begins. At your 1 Hour Backyard Garden Consult, an experienced garden coach will come to your backyard, evaluate your space, and discuss your garden dreams. Together you and your coach will come up with a plan that will get your vegetable garden growing quickly. You will learn about vegetable gardening here in the Wilmington, NC area, and will be ready to take the next steps in the process. Your coach will give you suggestions as to the best styles, locations, and timing based on your specific situation. After this consult, you will be sent a design and a plan, along with an estimate if you choose not to do the work yourself. Your coach is here to take the guesswork out of gardening and help you start producing vegetables and herbs without the work or the worry.
1-Hour Garden Coaching Session and Planting Plan
If you already have a garden and are looking for some help planning your next season, a 1-hour Garden Coaching Session will give you the tools you need to move forward with confidence. Your coach will measure and evaluate your growing space, look at soil composition and your current setup, and discuss your desires for the next growing season. Bring some ideas of what you want to grow, and your coach will make you a planting plan that will include your preferred plants. All the factors that impact your garden, including sun, soil, water, spacing and seasons will be taken into account. Your planting plan will include a curated list of what plants will grow best in the current season in our unique climate.
After your coaching session, you can take your planting plan and do it yourself, or you can schedule a separate planting session where your coach can bring the plants to your garden and plant them for you. You don’t have to miss a growing season because your schedule is getting busy, my goal is to help everyone who wants to grow their own food have that opportunity.
