FAQs
Do you bring tools or plants?
Nope! I come with knowledge, ideas, or guidance! I don’t install or supply materials (but I can point you in the right direction).
Can I take notes or record our session?
Of course! Take notes, record, or just observe. I'll be taking notes and you'll receive a recap email after our session.
Can I book an on-site garden session for other types of gardening besides growing food?
We are optimized for kitchen gardens and are only offering on-site garden sessions for those growing things to eat (or wanting to grow things to eat). We'll let you know when we expand our services to include support for other types of gardening.
What if it rains? Can I reschedule my session?
We live in Oregon—rain doesn't stop us. Rescheduling is available with 24+ hours’ notice. If conditions become unsafe, we will contact you.
What if I need more help after the visit?
We are here for continued support! You can book another session for in-person support whenever you need it, or use our Pocket Garden Coaching service for ongoing virtual support.
Do you offer refunds?
Due to the nature of the service, refunds are not available once a session is completed. Rescheduling is available with 24+ hours’ notice. You'll be able to review our full refund and cancellation policy during the checkout process.
