GARDEN COACHING
Tend, feed and nourish yourself and your garden.
Gardening is a great way to connect with the Earth, de-stress, and grow some food for your family, but sometimes knowing where to start can be overwhelming. Most effective with an open mind, garden coaching works well for those who are just starting out, new to the area or know their way around but have encountered a problem with an illusive solution. Whether you need an introduction to the basics or just a little more guidance garden coaching could be for you!
Cultivate Austin’s Lead Gardener, Samantha has a deep affinity for cultivating beautiful, fruitful gardens. She has a wealth of knowledge from her extensive experience homesteading, a South Florida Master Gardeners certification and from helping others on their gardening adventure. So if you have a growing interest in gardening, have hit a wall, or generally feel overwhelmed or underwhelmed with your current garden situation, we are here for you!
Through Cultivate Austin’s garden coaching program you will maximize your space and bring the life back into your soil. You’ll discover microbiology, mycelium and grow to appreciate the weird and interconnected nature of the world. You’ll learn to think like a plant and expand your understanding of decomposition and fertilizers. You’ll become less squeamish, get intimate dirt and fall in love with worms. You’ll meet many bugs, figure out who is friend and who is foe and become your own guide through an ever familiar backyard wilderness. And in our members only section you will have complete access to our seasonal planting schedule, weekly group calls and so much more!

“Gardening, working the soil, and growing plants is a service we do for the land and I want people to feel empowered by this relationship. The learning never stops even if you are a seasoned gardener, what was successful last year will not necessarily work this year, even with the same practices. It’s all about tuning in to the seasons, the Earth and being okay with and adapting to constantly changing circumstances. It keeps you on your toes, it’s often quite humbling, and always very rewarding.”
