The North Havens Gardens (NHG) Garden Coach program has grown to include three talented staff members over the last 15 years, each with an extensive and unique background in horticulture and landscape planning. As NHG Garden Coaches, they help clients identify areas in their landscape ready for improvement, suggest new approaches to refresh outdoor living spaces, recommend the proper plants as needed, maximize growing space on balconies and in containers, and provide planting and maintenance information specific to individual gardening needs.

Kay Nelson, NHG’s founding Garden Coach, has worked with hundreds of clients over the years, and in that time, she has come to see that thoughtful landscape planning and implementation can enhance any living space and improve quality of life. She says, "No matter what your gardening goals are, a meeting with one of North Haven’s Garden Coaches can give you the confidence and skills to take your outdoor spaces to the next level."

There are two options; in-store or phone/virtual consultations ($35 for a 45-minute meeting or an at-home consultation within the NHG delivery area, $125 for one hour). (This service does not include to-scale renderings or planting services). At the time of the visit, participants receive a voucher for 20 percent off all full-price merchandise for 30 days. In addition, Garden Coach clients will be enrolled in the NHG Grow Card program and accrue points toward cash off retail purchases.
