Meet the Pro
“Not at all,” Genevieve said. “It bothers me when people act like their knowledge is some big mysterious thing. I’m not threatened by people who want to know what I know. There’s always going to be a need for gardening services — the more I can get people involved with gardening, the better.”
Hmmmm. I confess that I was starting to like the idea of hiring someone to come over to my garden for a couple of hours to dispense wisdom, identify plants whose names I’ve forgotten and cast an educated vote about the removal of a troublesome shrub.
I also realized that in all the years I’ve been reading garden books and magazines, I’ve read surprisingly little about how to work with garden professionals. So tune in two weeks from now, when I’ll be back with a list of ideas for how and when to enlist a little extra help in the garden.
