Garden Consulting & Coaching
Learn your garden from a biologist and science teacher.
Most consultants tell you what to do. We teach you why, so you can make good decisions long after we've left. Amelia Greenland is a biologist and licensed landscape contractor who spent six years teaching science, with a focus on food and sustainability. Every consultation is a hands-on lesson in your own garden, built around your goals and the real conditions in your soil, sun and water.
What We Can Teach You
- California natives: choosing, planting, and caring for them through the seasons
- Edible gardens: soil building, crop planning and fruit trees
- Soil health: reading your soil and improving it naturally
- Water: drip irrigation, watering schedules and water-wise planting
- Integrated pest management: working with nature instead of against it
- Habitat: gardens for pollinators, birds and beneficial insects
- Fire-wise planting and Zone Zero basics
How it Works
- We walk your garden together and talk through what you want to learn and grow.
- We explain what's happening, and why, as we go.
- You get written notes with a plant list and a seasonal plan you can follow yourself.
Who it's for
New homeowners getting to know a garden, experienced gardeners who want to go deeper, and families who want kids to learn where food comes from.
