Garden Coaching in
Fort Collins And the Colorado Front Range
Thoughtful, Seasonal Support for Gardens That Grow Over Time
Mother Gardener offers professional garden coaching in Fort Collins and across the Colorado Front Range
for gardeners who want steady guidance, not quick fixes.
Garden coaching supports you in understanding your garden as a living system—one that responds to place, climate, season, and care over time. This approach helps gardens become easier to manage and more resilient year after year.
What Garden Coaching Is
Garden coaching is an ongoing, relationship-based service that provides personalized guidance tailored to your Colorado climate, soil conditions, and seasonal rhythms.
Rather than starting over each season or reacting to problems as they arise, coaching helps you:
- understand what your garden needs and when
- make confident decisions in a Front Range growing climate
- pace work realistically
- reduce overwhelm and unnecessary labor
Coaching sessions may include:
- seasonal garden planning for Northern Colorado
- plant selection and placement guidance
- soil health support specific to Front Range conditions
- troubleshooting common Colorado garden challenges
- long-term visioning for edible and perennial gardens
How Garden Coaching Works
Most clients begin with a Garden Consultation, which allows us to understand your space, goals, and growing conditions clearly.
From there, coaching is offered in pre-purchased hour blocks, providing flexibility while maintaining clear boundaries.
Coaching time may be used for:
- on-site garden visits in Fort Collins and nearby Front Range communities
- seasonal planning conversations
- plant sourcing and selection guidance
- follow-up support and coordination
All time spent working on your garden is counted toward your coaching hours to keep the relationship transparent and sustainable.
Who Garden Coaching Is For
Garden coaching is a good fit if you:
- live in Fort Collins or the Colorado Front Range
- want ongoing guidance rather than a one-time plan
- are managing a medium to large garden or property
- enjoy learning how to care for your garden seasonally
- value a thoughtful, climate-aware approach
Coaching works well on its own and also pairs naturally with design or installation projects.
Investment & Structure
Garden coaching is offered at a professional hourly rate, with minimum engagement requirements to ensure meaningful support.
Coaching is:
- paid in advance
- scheduled intentionally
- designed to support long-term success
Details are discussed during your consultation so we can determine the right level of support for your garden and capacity.
A Note on Expectations
Garden coaching is not:
- emergency troubleshooting
- unlimited access or on-demand messaging
- a replacement for ongoing landscape maintenance services
It is:
thoughtful professional guidance
seasonal, climate-aware support
clarity and confidence-building
an ongoing relationship with your garden

What My Clients Are Saying
When I moved into my new house, Cortney helped me identify the plants that were in the yard. She advised me on how to best take care of the plants that I have and offered great suggestions of what I could add in the future.
