Perhaps you have a big garden project or you're starting form scratch and your'e getting nowhere with it. It can feel really soul destroying when you look at your garden every day and see nothing but weeds you don't want, unfinished jobs, hopes and dreams stuck as, well, just that - hopes and dreams.
You know that your garden could be a source of nourishment. It could bring you so much joy and fulfillment and could help you connect with yourself and the natural world. But you just don't seem to be able to do enough, or the right things at the right time or you're afraid you'll make expensive mistakes that could end in disaster. Maybe sometimes you feel daunted and a bit overwhelmed by it even afraid of it. You wonder if you really can create and manage this natural space that seems to have a will of its own. The longer this situation goes on, the more you feel like a failure every time you look at your garden. Maybe all you need is a bit of guidance, tuition and support - tailored to your needs.Your very own garden guide could make a huge difference. Imagine - a source of support, advice and guidance exactly when you needed it. Imagine being able to share your doubts, the questions, the joy, the challenges that this journey presents to you with someone who knows and understands how important it is to you. Someone who is cheering you on every step of the way.
There have been times on my gardening journey when I would have been so grateful to have a garden guide of my own. Years ago, before I became a professional gardener, I failed to make my dreams a reality because I didn’t have the support I needed. Even now, after 15 years of professional gardening, I still sometimes get a wobble, or feeling of overwhelm. Who is it for?This is a service for people who long to have a beautiful garden but don't know how to make it a reality.
