Schedule a Consultation

Garden Consult On-Site $125 (60 min)

We specialize in native plants, backyard habitat design and edibles. This consult will be based on your specific needs. Are you beginning your garden journey and would like to learn about ecological design and gardening practices? Are you interested in hiring me for a future design project? Have you inherited an established garden and need to learn how to care for it? Maybe you’re an avid gardener and need some fresh ideas? This time can include a site assessment, loose design ideas, plant identification, soil health information, plant suggestions, advice about planting, plant placement, suggestions about land preparation, invasive plant identification and suggestions about removal, referrals, etc.

Year-round Maintenance $125 minimum per visit ($50/hr per worker)

This time includes a brief introduction to your garden, your maintenance goals, labor time assessment, other service recommendations and the labor (weeding, pruning, mulching and removal). We do not offer mowing. One-time clean ups and blackberry/ivy removal is offered with a $500 minimum per project ($50/hr per worker).

Plant Sourcing & Delivery $150 minimum ($50/hr plus 10% of total plant & material costs)

Let me help you find and deliver plants to your home from your personal plant list or the list I’ve made for you from our initial garden consult. This service is great for those who don’t have the time to gather specific plants from nurseries, for those not wanting plants to be substituted by a contractor for an install, for those who want to have a phone consult with me while I’m at the nursery to talk about options (which most contractors don’t have the time for), etc. If you are a DIYer and plan to do the planting yourself, I can assist with placement suggestions, planting depth information and soil amendments. The ideal seasons for native planting are fall, winter and early spring. Summer plantings are possible but they will need to have consistent irrigation.
