Coaches suggest, design, assist in accessing garden resources, and will come back and evaluate how your garden is doing, and what you want to do next. It is a reasonable and personal approach for want-to-be gardeners to get started on their own garden path,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are only a few of us so far and the directory above does not list coaches in the DC metro area other than the directory manager, So for those who want options for DC, Baltimore, Columbia, and northern Virginia you will have to do a bit of searching on your own. But the directory is a great start!&lt;/p&gt;
