Garden Coach

For those who want to learn as they go, Edible Eden offers Garden Coach sessions. These monthly maintenance visits are coordinated with your schedule so we can garden together as a learning opportunity. We spend up to 90 minutes with you in your garden trouble shooting, assisting with labor, and showcasing best practices. This program includes access to members only resources on our website, such as monthly handouts, a pest guide, a planting calendar, and more. Garden coaches are also available to you at any time over email for expert advice. All seeds, seedlings, and materials are provided.

Quarterly

Some clients want to keep their hands in the dirt, but may need a little extra support throughout the year. Our Quarterly Veggie Care program includes one visit per season during the major vegetable planting windows. In spring, we prep/fertilize and plant out early season crops. In early summer, we plant warm season crops. In late summer, we plant fall crops. And, in late fall, we clean out the garden and plant garlic. We consider your crop preferences and set you up for success!

New in 2023: A La Carte

For folks who don't have a yearly maintenance plan with us but need some help in the veggie garden, our a la carte offerings can fill in the gap! What’s on the menu? Garden Plans, Coaching Sessions, & Seasonal Plant-Outs. Plus, some offerings are entirely virtual!

Plans and prices are customized to your garden size, location, and unique needs. For more information, please fill out our consultation form and we will be in touch!
