Not Sure What To Plant or Where? I’ll Help you Figure It Out.
Gardening in northern Utah can be overwhelming. I help homeowners understand what will actually thrive in their specific space—soil, sun, and Utah conditions included—so they can move forward with clarity and confidence.
In one session, we can:
• Map out your space
• Choose plants that thrive in Utah
• Create a clear plan you can follow
• Learn how to care for it through the season
Most clients find that one focused hour is enough to get clear direction and move forward with confidence.
Your Garden Coach & Consultant
About Me
Hi, I’m Maria — your Utah garden coach.
Gardening here isn’t simple—our soil, climate, and seasons can make it hard to know what will actually work. I help homeowners figure out what to plant, where to plant it, and how to move forward without wasting time or money.
My background includes owning a landscaping business, Master Gardener certification, and continued horticulture training—but most of my experience comes from years of hands-on work in Utah gardens.
My approach is practical and straightforward. I guide you through plant selection, layout, soil, and care so your garden works in this climate—and keeps working long term.

To say I'm a novice at gardening is an understatement. I've planted and then the next year I replant because everything is dead, no matter how much I water. Marie was so patient and kind with her advice. I have a large oddly shaped yard with terrible soil and on salty secondary water, so I'm set up to fail. she pointed out things she knew wouldn't survive and I was able to warranty them at nurseries so I wasn't completely out on those. then gave me advice on how to give my yard dimension and suggestions on plants that would not only survive but thrive. I also wasn't looking into fully grown sizes when I was planting so I had things that would overpower my garden beds but now I've swapped those out for appropriate sized perennials that will last for years. looking forward to having her back out when I tackle my next phases.
