ABAC graduate featured in magazine

ATLANTA — Georgia native Russell Camp was recently included in an article on garden coaching in The American Gardener magazine. Camp founded Southern Garden Coach.com and provides landscape design and consulting for homeowners, business owners and other landscape maintenance and installation firms.

Author Deb Wiley wrote, “Though the term 'garden coach' entered the lexicon a few years ago, it's still an unfamiliar concept to many people. But in a culture with sports coaches, life coaches, and executive coaches, it's easy to root out exactly what garden coaches do: inspire, educate and empower people to create their best gardens.”

“When the economy changed I had to re-invent myself. I no longer was a landscape designer who did consulting, I am one who does landscape design as part of my services,” says Camp.

In addition to landscape design, Camp offers a written lawn care program that allows a home or business owner to become a do-it-yourselfer in the garden and save themselves the cost of hiring out that work. He can prescribe what's needed for a landscape makeover for anyone, especially those with a home for sale that needs more curb appeal. He can also work with a client's existing landscape contractor to provide direction.

Prior to this article, Camp was mentioned in the February 2010 edition of Atlanta Magazine in the feature article titled, “67 Things Every Atlantan Must Do.” Camp was number 47. He was mentioned among other types of personal help professionals, such as a sommelier (a wine expert), a haberdasher ( a men's clothier) and a fishing coach. The magazine quoted television and radio garden guru Walter Reeves as saying Russell Camp is the best teacher in the state.

Camp graduated from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton with a degree in ornamental horticulture and has spent his career working in the green industry. He has owned a landscape business, been the grounds manager for an Atlanta-area University and has done landscape design for many years.
