Someone to walk around your yard with you, to care about that iris that has that was planted by your grandmother, or someone who cares about that bare spot the grass won't ever grow. Maybe it would help to have someone to text about that flower you saw down the block, would it work by the driveway? Want to know why your shrubs aren't growing, or when to prune your roses, or what to do with that sp
ot that stays wet (or dry)? I know some of you are excited to get your hands dirty, or may have some gardening under your belt already. I also know how important it is to be surrounded by beauty, to have a yard that you want to spend time in, to show off to your friends. Most people I have worked with are concerned about how much maintenance will be entailed in that new flower bed they want to plant. Or they want a new tree but are not sure what would really work in the space they have. Some people want to do container gardening for the kitchen or bought a pretty flower at Home Depot and now don’t know what to do with it. What they all have in common is that are overwhelmed with the decisions and all the maintenance their choices might entail. I’ll give you an honest assessment of what you have, the strengths and weaknesses, how to add more color or to get more life out of those old, lanky shrubs (that you can’t quite remember the name of). Don’t worry, I got you. I’ll hold your hand and hopefully make you laugh along the way. Take a deep breath, your garden is lovely, and it will only get better.
