Why an hour with a Gardening Coach can save you $$$

You have been struggling with the same area of your garden for years now. You have tried and failed with several different plants. The nursery has tried to be helpful, but so far nothing works. You have spent a few hundred dollars on this not to mention your time. What is left to do? Consider hiring a gardening coach for an hour or two. An hour spent at the site going over your garden and possibly a followup meeting at the nursery to pick out plants can save you time and money.

Make sure that you choose a gardening coach that has the right experience. Someone that has been doing maintenance as well as design and installation is really key.You need a coach that has had to maintain plants over a long period of time. If not you may not know that the plant will look great in that location for 9 months until a cold winter hits - then the plant abruptly dies. Or that the drainage in that area is poor causing water that you might not see on the surface to pool in that area thereby rotting the plants roots. This may take several months and you may have to go through a wet winter - but again the plant is gone. Maintenance people that have had to troubleshoot problems and work with sites to come up with solutions that work are going to be your best coaches.

Our you may have had trouble with your vegetable garden. A coach can help pick out the right vegetables for you that will work in your location.

Working with a coach may be less expensive than you think.

 Go Green Gardeners has been in the maintenance business for many years now. We can resolve most problems with simple low costs solutions. Our rates start at $50 an hour.
