Meet Andrea

Hi, I’m Andrea! By day, I’m a teacher with 19 years of experience helping students grow, and by evening (and every spare moment in between), I’m a passionate gardener who has spent the last 20 years digging in the dirt, experimenting with new plants, and finding joy in every season. I garden in Portage, Michigan (Zone 6A), where I’ve learned firsthand that a thriving garden doesn’t have to be complicated—it just takes the right approach.

Gardening has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and now, I want to help you grow with confidence. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to transform your existing space, I believe gardening should be an enjoyable, rewarding experience—not overwhelming. That’s why I started Garden Consulting, to provide practical tips, expert advice, and encouragement to help you create a garden you love.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your gardening journey, I’d love to help you bring your vision to life! Let’s dig in and make your garden a place of beauty, joy, and success.
