Garden Rant: This Garden Coaching Thing Might Just Take Off

MANIFESTO

Convinced that gardening MATTERS

We Are:

Convinced that gardening MATTERS.

Bored with perfect magazine gardens.

In love with real, rambling, chaotic, dirty, bug-ridden gardens.

Suspicious of the “horticultural industry.”

Delighted by people with a passion for plants.

Appalled by chemical warfare in the garden.

Turned off by any activities that involve “landscaping” with “plant materials.”

Flabbergasted at the idea of a “no maintenance garden.”

Gardening our asses off.

Having a hell of a lot of fun.

Just Who Do They Think They Are?

This Garden Coaching Thing Might Just Take Off

SUCH an exciting weekend was had in Buffalo that it included - surprise to me! - the airing of the coaching story on "CBS Sunday Morning." Here's my report and here's the link to the video...
http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=3108384n.

My own Garden Walk/GardenRant Meet-up briefing will follow. For now I'll just report that Buffaloans are not just mad for gardening - they're party animals.

Great spot on CBS Sunday Morning! I'm glad I didn't know about it ahead of time! Amy's Mom & I had to get up at 6AM to watch when she was on. Dee's not a morning person...
Congratulations! VS

Well done. Showing garden coaches alongside executive coaches, who have been around for quite some time, adds a lot of credibility to garden coaching, in my opinion.

Susan, that was great, as are you! Thanks for the link. I am sitting in the evening garden intoxicated on lily scent tonight and the evening primroses are popping beyond belief...

I work with a personal coach. But I have contacted a horticulturist that I recently met (at a local farmer's market) and asked for a consultation about my perennial beds. I'm not sure if that's exactly coaching, but we'll see how the first consultation (or two) go!
