Garden Coaching & Garden Mentors’ Robin Haglund in the Seattle News

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

Today’s Seattle Times Pacific NW Magazine starts the New Year looking at “the end of excess”. To round out the concept, Valerie Easton interviewed me earlier last year for today’s gardening feature in which she discusses the many ways a garden coach can help gardeners grow. I can’t thank Val enough for bringing the idea of a garden mentor to her devoted readership. With so much uncertainty ahead and so much media reporting on the negativity out there, it is refreshing to find writers bringing useful ideas, services and information to a community interested in learning, growing and becoming more self-sufficient. Enjoy Valerie’s article, Coaches Help Gardeners Grow, in More Ways than One here.

And, yes, Garden Mentors does offer garden coaching for edible gardeners, too! Get in touch to sign up for a garden coaching program that fits your lifestyle, landscape and budget here!

If you’re not from Seattle, have a look anyway. Valerie provides links to find garden coaches all over the world.

Sunset Magazine on Garden Coaching – Coach Gardener

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

The Pacific Northwest edition of Sunset magazine has a special “Inside Seattle” section in their September 2007 issue. Within this section, writer Jenny Cunningham details her first person experience working with her garden mentor or garden coach – that would be me. Photographer John Granen illustrated our adventures through his beautiful photography.

Obviously, this is terrific press coverage for me. Additionally, I’m thrilled that the press is getting the word out there that people should consider hiring a garden coach, explaining the services we offer & how fun and rewarding it is to work with a garden mentor. Whenever I get a call from someone who has read about my services in the press, the immediate comment they have is, “A gardening consultation is exactly what I need. I had no idea I could hire a coach for gardening. HELP! Sign me up now!”

Thanks to all you press folks for getting the word out there.
