Why Hire a Garden Coach?

According to Topend Sports, the role of a athletic coach is “responsible for training athletes in a sport by analyzing their performances, instructing in relevant skills and by providing encouragement. But you are also responsible for the guidance of the athlete in life and their chosen sport.”

Harvard Business Review comments that for businesses “Ten years ago, most companies engaged a coach to help fix toxic behavior at the top. Today, most coaching is about developing the capabilities of high-potential performers”.

And pretty much the same can be said for the Garden Coach, as the goal is shared;

develop skills, impart knowledge and provide motivation & encouragement.

So lets explore a few specifics when it comes to Garden Coaching.

Dig into the Possibilities 

One of the first steps towards a productive garden is to understand what really is possible in your garden, both seasonally and month-to-month.

Using an understanding of our local climate & growing season and by assessing your specific garden location and needs, a Garden Coach will work with you in becoming the gardener you've dreamed of being. 

Set Expectations

It's easy to be inspired by beautiful social media posts, but knowing what is really possible in your unique garden space the key to success and limiting disappointment.

By working with an experienced Garden Coach, you will gain a better understanding of what is possible in your personal garden space and be able to set attainable goals, all while empowering you with the knowledge to see your dreams grow into reality. 

Reassess Goals

When I started gardening I wanted to grow it all, but as the seasons went on, I learned that vegetables and plant propagation was where I wanted to put my focus on learning. 

Assessing your personal garden goals is a great way to both start and end a growing season.

By reflecting back on your successes and failures, you can set new goals while limiting frustration and disappointment.
