How Can a Garden Coach/Consultant Help You?
- You are a new or first–time homeowner and need an unbiased evaluation of your new home’s landscape. I help you figure out what to keep, what to remove, and how to enhance your landscape with new plantings- personalizing it to your taste.
- You are a homeowner with an existing landscape that is looking tired and needs an update. I help you re-imagine what works and help you create an outdoor space that better suits your needs.
- You are a budding gardener and want to learn how to care for and maintain your existing landscape. I can give you one-on-one coaching on pruning, watering, and other gardening tasks to give you the confidence you need to care for your garden on your own.
- You want to grow food, herbs, and flowers for you and your family’s use but are overwhelmed by all the information out there. I can help you create a personalized plan for you to get the most out of your gardens.
- You want to garden more ecologically and use organic methods but don’t know where to begin. I can help you plan, create and maintain a garden that attracts pollinators and other wildlife to your garden.
Can you show me? Quick sketch- Layout / Visualization
Do you need just a little help visualizing what goes where – or how to layout a garden bed or what to remove or relocate? A hand sketch with notes layered on top of your photos gives you the confidence to jump in and start the project on your own.
Send me photographs of the areas and or plants you need help with and l will layer in the perfect plants and layout for your conditions and needs and provide you with a plant list for you to use to order or shop for your plants.
As part of the Garden sketch package, I work with your photos, and help you re- think, existing garden areas or help create new ones. This option can also be used to help solve landscape and garden problems through plant relocation and editing.
“If you seek landscape advice, I strongly suggest you reach out to Carmen DeVito from Garden Cult.”
Our garden had become overgrown. We wanted a significant upgrade, but we had no idea where to start. I needed professional help. A friend of mine introduced me to Carmen DeVito from Garden Cult.
Carmen asked us to take photos of the existing garden, and luckily, we had pictures in all four seasons. Carmen provided a layout of a new design on top of the photos that We had sent her. She gave us a list of plant recommendations for specific garden areas, keeping most of the existing plants. Adding a little hardscaping, new plantings, and rearranging my exiting plants transformed my overgrown unorganized garden into a spacious and beautifully arranged environment.
Carmen is everything our friend said she was. The depth of her knowledge about plants is impressive, and her experience as a well-seasoned landscape project manager was evident by how she managed the landscape team. She is the pinnacle of professionalism in every way. We were lucky to have met and worked with her.
If you seek landscape advice, I strongly suggest you reach out to Carmen DeVito from Garden Cult. I am confident that you will be as impressed as I am.
