Lockdown discounts: A year of garden
coaching
I’ve been very excited about my new venture – even before the
lockdown I’d decided that online garden coaching would be a
fantastic way for me to work with more people than I can physically
get around to, helping them to make the very best of their gardens
in a way that suits the life they lead. With the all the
uncertainty around our lives just now I’m holding the the
introductory price for the full 12 month programme as well as
offering a quarterly payment plan, and there’s 50% off an hour’s
Skype consultation call.
