Each garden and gardener are unique, so Megan creates a
garden coach and/or edible landscape design package to suit the specific needs
of each client. Here's a few examples:
The Full Treatment — After conducting an in-depth
interview with the client, Megan creates a site design and garden management
plan, which may include educational materials with plant requirements, timelines, work
guidance and crop succession plans if needed. She works with the client about eight times
throughout the year, two to four hours a session, to set up the garden beds,
prep and plant, perform pest control, prune and trellis, trouble shoot,
harvest, build season extension structures and prepare the beds for winter.
Megan is also available throughout the year to answer clients' questions via
email and phone.
A Phone Call Away — For those clients who have established garden beds, but still need instruction on caring for the plants throughout the year. Megan is available throughout the year to answer questions via email and phone. Includes approximately three visits to the client's site.
A Day in the Garden — Megan provides instruction at the client's garden on one or more of the following topics: setting up no-till gardens; prepping beds and planting; managing pests; pruning and trellising; building season extension structures; preparing the garden for the winter. Sessions typically last two to four hours.
Personalized Design and Management Plan — Megan
creates a site design and garden management plan, including educational materials with plant
requirements, timelines, work guidance and crop succession plans. Includes at
least one site visit and in-depth interview.
The Perfect Combo — Combine any of the above with "Grow" or "Emergence," M R Gardens' on-site garden coaching programs. The perfect way to learn is following up group classes with implementation at home.

Coaching and design fees vary depending on the needs of the client and size of the property. Megan is currently offering a local's special for a $35 initial consultation and site visit, which usually takes about an hour. (This price increases to $50 during the nursery's busy season, from March to May). The initial site visit fee is waived if the customer commits to a package that day. Megan offers a sliding scale for her services to encourage all to try edible landscaping—just let her know if financial limitations are inhibiting you from inquiring.
