Why garden consulting?

Let’s face it— beginner gardeners make a lot of mistakes. I personally have made every mistake under the sun… and in the shade for that matter. While trial and error can be a great way to learn, the fact is that all of those mistakes can cost a lot of time and money. And after enough frustration, most gardeners will just give up. I learned the hard way that just picking up whichever plants look interesting at your local big box store is a fast track to failure. The unfortunate reality is that garden centers actually have good reason to WANT your plants to die or require lots of expensive upkeep, so that you keep coming back to purchase more plants, chemicals, and gimmicky products from them year after year! Ever brought home a nice shrub that looked so great blooming in the store, but then it shriveled up at the first sign of frost or extreme heat? (Yeah, me too.) Well it probably wasn’t really your fault—that plant just wasn’t meant to grow in your region! Worst of all, many popular plants for sale are actually invasive species that can harm local ecosystems and take over your garden, cleverly marketed as “Vigorous!” and “Easy to grow!”.
