We're on a roll! The CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C. gave us some great coverage! Here's the link to the article and to see the video of the piece, go to "click to view" on the right side of the page.

Washington, D.C.'s big glossy monthly has a comprehensive feature this month about finding help in the garden and includes coaches, along with the more established professions of designers and landscape architects. Excellent! I was interviewed and quoted at length, as was one of my clients. Kathy Jentz, editor of Washington Gardener Magazine, was asked about the difference between a coach and a consultant. Her answer: there's no formal distinction, but those who call themselves consultants tend to have certificates or degrees in landscape design or horticulture, while coaches are generally people who have gardened for years and developed expertise that way, as well as through research or volunteering in a community or botanical garden. Good explanation, Kathy!
Finally, on their website I found this little gem: "Local garden coach Susan Harris links to a variety of regional gardening blogs at sustainable-gardening.com." Ah, link love!
