Book a Garden Coach
Because DIY doesn't mean you have to garden alone.
Earl May's Garden Coach is perfect for gardeners who want expert advice and a clear plan while still enjoying the satisfaction of planting it themselves.
Whether you're brand new to gardening or just want a little extra confidence on your next project, our Garden Coaches are here to guide you every step of the way.
Why choose a Garden Coach?
- Quick & Easy - No waiting on full landscape installs.

- Done on Your Time - Schedule when it works for you.
- DIY Satisfaction - You do the planting, we help you plan it right.
How it Works
- Prepare Your Space - Measure your area and note sun exposure, soil conditions (clay, sandy, etc.), and any obstacles like trees or utility boxes. Graph sheet is available in-store or to download here.
- Take Photos - Snap photos of the space from multiple angles. Printed photos are helpful, but not required.
- Schedule Your Appointment - Contact your local Earl May Garden Center to book your appointment.
- Meet With Your Coach - Together, we will review your design ideas and photos, walk the nursery yard to discuss plant options, likes and dislikes, and project budget.
- Leave With a Plan - You'll receive a rough sketch of your plant layout, suggested plant types and quantities, and clear next steps to bring your garden to life.
Cost: A $200 Earl May gift card purchase is required when your appointment is scheduled. This gift card is yours to use toward plant and nursery items purchased for your project.
