Start Your Garden JourneyAbout The Garden Mentors
Founded in 2018 by master gardener Sarah Chen and landscape designer Michael Rodriguez, The Garden Mentors has grown from a small Portland-based consultancy into the Pacific Northwest's most trusted gardening guidance service. Our passion for sustainable horticulture and personalized education has helped over 1,200 gardeners transform their outdoor spaces into thriving ecosystems.
What sets us apart is our commitment to hands-on mentoring rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. We believe every garden tells a unique story shaped by its environment, the gardener's lifestyle, and their personal vision. Our certified horticulturists work closely with each client to develop customized growing plans that consider soil conditions, climate patterns, maintenance preferences, and aesthetic goals.
Our comprehensive approach combines traditional gardening wisdom with modern sustainable practices. We specialize in organic growing methods, native plant integration, water-wise landscaping, and season-extension techniques that maximize your garden's potential year-round. Whether you're a complete beginner overwhelmed by seed catalogs or an experienced gardener facing specific challenges, we provide the knowledge and ongoing support you need to succeed.
Beyond individual consultations, we're deeply committed to building a community of confident, knowledgeable gardeners. Our monthly workshops, seasonal garden tours, and online resource library ensure you have continuous access to expert guidance and peer support. We've proudly helped establish over 200 successful vegetable gardens, restored 150 neglected landscapes, and trained hundreds of gardeners in sustainable growing practices that benefit both their families and the environment.
