ZENECIST™ | Essential Gardening Services

I’ve always wanted to grow Sunflowers – but the season is so short, I started some from seed in containers indoors and had full grown plants, 12′ to 14′, a big beautiful flowers by mid-July

I’ve gardened all my life, both organically and with natural feeding protocols.. And, with well over the 5000 hands-on hours, I consider myself an expert. Though I’m reasonably convinced I’ve made every mistake possible in outdoor and indoor gardening along the way. The good news is I learned well, and can help you get it right!

From Spring through fall in New England, and year-round in warmer climes/vacation residences, ZENECIST™ (sayZen•Assist) offers essential outdoor and indoor gardening services including:

• Planning & garden construction

• Preparation: soil/grow medium, fertilizer/feeding protocols

• Seeds, plant starts and/or clones/propagation, planting

• Lighting, ventilation, and maintenance for outdoor, indoor & hydroponic gardens.

Nearly 80% of gardening issues relate to incorrect soil and feed pH – acidity and alkalinity. It’s to gardening what turning your computer on and off is to fixing most issues! It’s such an easy fix when you know how – and I’ll be glad to teach you!

As the Director of Marketing for a regional (5-store) garden supply retailer and distributor (2017-2022), I wrote blogs on many types of gardening, from tomatoes to medicinal herbs. During the pandemic I was assigned as “Chat Guy” (online), and assisted many confined people tired of TV, most of whom had never gardened in their lives. We had such fun!

After years of creating websites, packaging, and ads professionally, I created this zen fountain solely to my muse. Made with surf-smoothed bricks found on the southern Massachusetts coast. This fountain is for sale, including sites installation. Please inquire.

I also create and install on-site custom and semi-custom zen water fountains to client specifications. I’m also glad to support creative types who have their own fountain design in mind and would like a helping hand building it.

Available locally: Hopkinton, Southborough, Upton, Milford, Ashland, Franklin, Framingham, Natick, Wellesley& Westborough; also vacation homes and residences throughout the world. My availability is limited; please don’t hesitate to inquire.
