Garden Consultation
Inspiration, Planning and Education - 60 Minutes
A garden consult is all about supporting you to feel confident your garden. I'll guide you to turn your questions into confidence and inspiration into action so you can move forwards in your garden with ease and excitement.
You’ll share your current garden situation, your inspiration and goals and together we’ll create a personalized plan for your garden space. I’ll send you a package summarizing our plan that can include plant list and recommendations, placement tips, maintenance instructions, succession planting and harvesting guides as well as a visual inspiration/ mood board, which you can refer to as you move forward with your project.
These sessions are virtual.

It’s also a space to engage in horticultural therapy; a way of healing and improving mental, physical and emotional health through gardening and connecting to the outdoors.
Perennials & permaculture
Protecting soil, growing deep, strong roots, providing year round habitats for critical pollinators, reducing maintenance and waste on your property… all this while growing productive, beautiful gardens that feed you and your local ecosystem.
Trees and perennials help offset the carbon load and provide important habitats for native pollinators and beneficial wildlife. Feeding the soil with homemade compost and protecting soil with mulch improves the soil microbiome and leaves the soil structure intact. Using native plants and feeding the soil is key to creating productive, drought resistant gardens that are as ecologically valuable as they are beautiful.

Pollinator Gardens
Create a beautiful garden that supports pollinators and other beneficial insects throughout the year providing important nectar sources and ideal native habitiats. These gardens can be a a mix of annuals and perennials, with an emphasis on native perennial planting which will provide the most support for native pollinators.
These gardens always have something blooming from early spring to late fall and will maintain their interest in the winter months with the structure of the plants remaining intact for year round habitat for native pollinators and wildlife. Low maintenance, high reward.
