Garden Support

Expert Garden Guidance, Every Other Week

You want the satisfaction of tending your own garden—harvesting tomatoes you've watched ripen, pulling weeds on a Saturday morning, showing the kids how to pick beans. But you also want the confidence that comes from knowing an expert is regularly checking in, catching problems early, and keeping everything on track. You want to be hands-on, not hands-off—but you don't want to be on your own.

What's the answer to the gap between enthusiastic beginner and confident gardener? Professional guidance at the right intervals. The Bi-Weekly Maintenance Bundle gives you the best of both worlds. I visit every other week to handle key garden tasks, monitor progress, and give you expert direction—while you stay connected to your garden between visits.

I visit your garden twice per month throughout the growing season to manage essential tasks and keep your garden thriving. From spring planting through fall harvest, you get expert support while maintaining the hands-on experience you're looking for.

All garden care is delivered under my guidance as a NOFA-NY certified organic grower with over a decade of experience growing in Westchester and New York City.
