The transition from flowergal to FlowerCoach

Its been a long time coming, this new venture. I will be providing customized training for the aspiring gardener. Specifically — teaching, guiding and encouraging you right in your own yard, helping you put together a plan for having color in your garden all season long. Flowers are my passion, and my goal is to spread the joy of ‘playing in the dirt’ and to give you the confidence that you need to begin.

It’s a beautiful day–get out there and start imagining the possibilities!
