About us
Report
The Garden Tutors was started in 2005 by Carole as a garden design and education business with the desire to help want-to-be gardeners learn the skills they need to be successful.
Gardening and gardening education has been in our blood for three generations beginning with Carole's grandparents.
They started a retail Nursery and Garden Center called Scenic Nursery in 1949 which grew and expanded with her father Jim Rogers until they won the Modesto Bee's best nursery 12 years in a row.
Jim eventually closed the family garden center and installation company, Scenic Nursery, in 2011 with the thought toward retirement and to help out his daughter with her business.

This gallery is just a few of the projects we have designed for our clients.
We do small projects that are just a small front yard in downtown Sacramento to large properties in Carmichael and in the foothills.
We do yards that are just renewing an old overgrown planting to major hardscaping projects with large patios, pergolas, retaining walls and walkways.
We approach each project working to create a unique design that fits the needs, wants and budget of each client.
This was a complete re-do of the entry to create the courtyard, and use low water plantings to reduce water use.

I hope you are doing well!
I just wanted you to know that I am thoroughly enjoying my yard.
You and your team truly did beautiful work and really created exactly what I wanted.
I'm now getting planters for a simple herb garden.
This is something my Mom would have cherished and enjoyed.
Thank you again for helping keep her memories alive and for bringing this place the peace and tranquility I was looking for.
Have a beautiful day Carole!
