Marin Sustainable Garden Coaching and Design

Specialties

As a garden coach, my services are unique. After the initial garden

assessment that will be done on the first visit, a gardening plan is set up and

garden «dates» are arranged between the client and coach for hands on

garden training. These «dates» are usually scheduled weekly or bi-​weekly

depending on the season in order to keep up with the changes in the garden.

The overall span of time working in the garden together will depend on the

client’s needs and garden comfort level.

During our «dates» you will be given the opportunity to learn how to grow

bountiful organic food and medicine gardens, apply organic pest/​disease

management practices, learning some of the more important soil nutrition

and water conservation techniques, plant identification, organic fertilization,

proper plant placement and habits, pruning skills and other basic landscape

maintenance routines.

My services are welcome to all levels of garden experience. No property is

too big or too small.

History

Established in 2004.

My History

With a degree in Horticulture from Oregon State University, I have spent

most of my life planting gardens, tending to gardens and eating out of

gardens. I became a small scale ecological landscaper over 10 years ago. Focusing on the installation of edible/​medicinal gardens or what I call functional as opposed to ornamental.

It wasn’t until a few years ago that I realized that I was creating a small

unique niche out of my gardening business by working along side many of my

clients and during these garden «dates» a subtle yet beautiful relationship

was being formed between them and their garden. Within time, many of

these gardens have become bountiful and beautiful micro farms, feeding and

healing the families that chose to invest their time to learn what it takes to

become an earth steward and self sufficient/​sustainable property owner. It was in 2004 that I decided to take my business to the next level and become a gardening coach full time.
