Vegetable garden coaching - plan & prep

Our plan and prep garden coaching session provides personalized guidance to help you make the most of your garden. During this one-time visit, one of our lead farmers will meet with you in your garden to perform a comprehensive overview of your site, and create a plan to help you make the most of your growing space. See the map at the bottom of the page for our current Garden Coaching service area.

***This is NOT a landscape design service. We’d be happy to help you lay out new annual vegetable garden beds, and provide suggestions for the layout of berries and fruit trees, but this work could incur additional design time costs.

Investment:

• Initial in-person coaching visit, and all listed deliverables: $525, paid at the time of scheduling
  • This price assumes you have an existing garden on site. If you’d like help determining the location and arrangement of new garden beds, this may require additional design time, usually 1-3 hours, billed at $90 per hour
• Follow-up in-person visit, no deliverables: $185, paid at the time of scheduling

We look forward to working with you and helping you plan your best vegetable garden yet!
