Cultivating Confidence, One Garden at a Time
Hi, I’m Jen — Your Garden Coach and Confidence Builder
I believe gardening should feel joyful, calming, and accessible—not overwhelming, expensive, or reserved for “experts.” I started this business because I kept hearing the same thing from friends and neighbors: “There are beautiful plants in my yard that came with the house but I don’t know how to care for them” or “I want to start a garden, I just don’t know where to begin.”
If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place.
My Approach
I don’t come in and take over your space. I come alongside you—whether you’re a total beginner, a hesitant dabbler, or someone who just wants their outdoor space to look good without paying landscaper prices.
Together, we’ll:
Break gardening down into simple, doable steps
Create cost-effective plans, like using many of the plants you already have, that match your space and your budget (no space too small or large!)
Build your confidence so you feel empowered to keep going
Make gardening something you look forward to, not something you stress over
Gardening doesn’t have to be expensive. It doesn’t have to be complicated. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to work for you. I’m here to help you make that happen.
Why I Started Garden Coaching
I’ve been gardening for over 30 years and have made every mistake possible and have loved (almost) every moment of it! Getting outside and caring for growing things gives me a lift like no other, and in tough times, my garden has often been the joy that kept me going. I want to help you find that feeling (or at least get you to where you don’t hate it!).
I love connecting people with opportunities, and a garden space is a literal opportunity for growth (and not just with plants!). There’s always something to learn and I love learning.
Most of all, I love dispelling the myth that something is hard, too expensive, or not achievable. My job with The Attainable Garden is to simplify the process of making your space the way you want it, tailor it to your home and lifestyle, and give you the tools and knowledge to move forward independently.
