GARDEN COACHING/MENTORING

 Have tons of  questions about your garden or your yard?

Wondering what to do? How to do it? When to do it? How to make it better? I can help. 

Garden coaches are a great resource for all gardeners, both new and experienced.

Want to start a new food garden? Revamp an old one? Tackle a new project but not sure where to start? 

As a Kitchen Gardening Coach, I specialise in helping set up thriving food gardens and providing you with all the information you need to successfully grow your own organic edibles. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can help with picking out the right plants, garden layouts, garden beds, fruit trees & shrubs, feeding, watering, harvesting, general plant care.... pretty much anything you need to know about growing food. 

I can also help a bit with ornamental plants, shrubs, layouts, and their care, but food growing is most definitely my speciality. It is my thing, as they say. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cost is $60 if you take your own notes so that I just do a whole lot of talking : )

The cost is $120 if I take the notes and later send you a report with everything we talked about. It takes about a week to get the report.  

Most garden consults are about 1.5 hours long. 

We all get really excited in spring but please keep in mind that February and March are still pretty cold and not much is happening yet in the garden : )  

To set up a time and date to get together and chat about your garden, message me for more information by clicking here!

*Please note that I am a garden coach, not a landscape designer. That is a whole other thing.

Cara D.  Are you using your space to it's full gardening potential? Thank you Tanja for being such a positive garden role model and inspiration for me! I did coaching with Tanja in spring 2017. She came to my house and made gardening in my backyard the best it can be by teaching me how to best use my space. I always did ground gardening but with surrounding tress the soil was constantly drained of nutrients and Tanja gave me guidance on raised beds how and where to place them. Ever since then my gardening is almost weed free and the gardening space has infinite potential. I keep taking her workshops and have blossomed as a gardener! Thank you Tanja for your coaching and gardening friendship, highly recommend this service to make the most out of your available space! I still have much to learn. Cara D

Jennifer V. If you are looking to improve your existing garden or starting out new like I did, I highly recommend a coaching session from Tanja at Olde Thyme Food and Garden!  3 years ago I attended Tanja's Gardening 101 class and loved it so much I asked her for a private coaching session at my home.  Not only did she give me great tips and ideas but she has been helping me along the way since then!  She has a wealth of information on a variety of topics from garden pests to companion planting and maximizing space.  She even gave some tips on how to manage our chicken manure for the garden and composting ideas!  Thanks Tanja, hope you don't mind a few more questions cuz you know they are a coming!!

Tanja is an absolute wealth of knowledge. I asked her to come to our new-to-us home to help us plan our garden. Tanja toured around my yard and helped us determine the best spot for our garden. She helped suggest the best layout and encouraged me to do larger beds than I was initially thinking. Her ability to envision an efficient and well laid-out garden is testament to her gardening experience. Tanja suggested which plants and veggies are companions and which are not. I love how she loves gardening so much and can speak to almost everything with great knowledge, but if she (rarely) does not know something, she will advise where to find the information. She can discuss pros and cons and help her customer come to the best decision for their garden and yard. I now have a thriving garden and am so very happy with the coaching from Tanja. I know that she is just an email, phone call or Facebook message away for more advice at any time! (Believe me, I’ve used it!).
