Plantwize
A new service from Plantwize
After 24 years of installing landscapes across Cape Town I now help homeowners like you create the thriving garden you’ve always wanted! With expert coaching and guidance every step of the way
Why We’re Launching Garden Coaching
Over two decades of building landscapes in Cape Town, we’ve noticed something: our happiest clients weren’t always the ones who handed everything over to us. They were the ones who wanted to be involved, who asked questions, who wanted to understand their garden and learn to care for it themselves.
Many homeowners want beautiful, thriving gardens but can’t justify the full cost of professional installation — or they simply want the satisfaction of creating something themselves.
That’s where Garden Coaching comes in. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned in 24 years – and put it at your service through personalized coaching.
You get the expertise of a professional landscaping company, the personalized guidance of a qualified coach, and the satisfaction of creating your own thriving Cape Town garden.
Are You Struggling With Your Garden?
Feeling Overwhelmed
There’s way too much information available online and you don’t know where to start or what to prioritize.
Plants Keep Dying
You’ve tried creating a garden but plants die and you don’t know why. You’re wasting money on plants that don’t suit Cape Town’s unique conditions.
Costly Mistakes
Poor soil preparation, wrong plant choices. You’ve made expensive mistakes – because you can’t know what you don’t know!
Generic Advice Doesn’t Work
Books and websites give general gardening advice, but your garden has its own unique micro-climate. You need solutions specific to YOUR space.
Time Wasting
You want a beautiful garden now, not after years of expensive experimentation. You need expert guidance to get it right the first time.
Maintenance is Confusing
You had a beautiful and costly garden installed – but don’t know how to maintain it properly. Plants are dying off and you’re not sure how to care for them
I’ve spent decades making Cape Town gardens beautiful. Now I want to teach you how. Hello, I’m Sam.
Over my decades of landscaping I noticed something: my happiest clients weren’t the ones who handed everything over to us. They were the ones who wanted to be involved, who asked questions, who wanted to understand the garden, and who wanted to get to know the plants.
I’ve realized that I can make a more meaningful impact by empowering you to create your own thriving garden, rather than doing the work for you.
How Garden Coaching Works
Assessment & Planning
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your garden through photos, videos, and video consultation. Together we analyze your soil, sun exposure, micro-climate, water availability, and your personal goals. I get to know you and your garden personally.
Skill Building & Guidance
Through coaching sessions (video calls), homework, and handouts, I coach you through the skills you need — to confidently achieve and manage your own dream garden. You set the pace – so that your learning and garden transformation are enjoyable.
Ongoing Support Options
As your coach I am here to support you. We provide a variety of sessions, packages, and add-on services – so that you can select what works for you and what meets your budget. Between session support is on offer too – and we love to hear your progress!
Confidence & Independence
My goal is to make you confident and capable. By the end of our work together, you’ll understand your garden deeply, know how to solve problems, and have the skills to maintain it beautifully for years to come.
