At Santa Barbara Garden Design, we pack a lot into our two-hour coaching sessions. They’re a great way to learn how to dive into a new project or tune up your garden. They’re also a thoughtful house-warming gift for a new homeowner.
Are you looking for a little expert gardening advice?
Perhaps you’d like to start an organic vegetable garden, learn how to prune your roses, or style your terrace with just the right pots and plants. Maybe you’re curious about curating a cocktail garden, or want to add structure to your landscape, but you’re not ready for a comprehensive design.
With Santa Barbara Garden Design’s Garden Coaching service, Joan will provide hands-on training and help you develop your skills throughout your garden.
Whether you’d like to learn about succulents, create a dramatic focal point, plant for privacy, start a compost pile, build a raised bed, or just want answers to a million and one questions, Joan will guide you. She’ll even take you shopping at local wholesale nurseries to find the perfect plant, or to garden boutiques to find the ideal bench, fountain, arbor, or ornament.
What Every Coaching Session Includes
Along with addressing your specific concerns and helping you to elevate your design, Joan will offer tips for tending your garden with environmentally sound techniques that conserve water, limit the use of chemicals, and attract and sustain birds, beneficial insects, butterflies, and other wildlife.
Each coaching session runs a full two hours, during which we cover a lot of ground. But the time does go by fast. If your enthusiasm spills over, Joan is available for any number of return visits.
