With this 1 hour, on-site or virtual consultation, I will help you turn your gardens into a thriving, low-maintenance escape!
My experience in a Zone 5 garden focuses on drought and heat tolerant plants, pollinator habitat, and water-efficient strategies that benefit both you and the environment in a quickly changing climate..
STEP 1Tell me about your garden: After purchasing your consultation, we’ll start by having you complete a questionnaire of your current concerns and goals in the garden. Please include pictures of problem plants/areas that you hope to diagnose during our in-person consulation.
STEP 2 On-site or virtual assessment: A thorough walk-through (or virtual tour) to evaluate soil, sun exposure, drainage, existing plants, hardscape, and microclimates.
STEP 3Customized suggestions: Within one week of our meeting, I will provide practical recommendations for plant selection, layout, irrigation, soil improvements, and seasonal care tailored to your yard, climate, and aesthetic preferences. This can include:
Plant palette & placement: A curated list of trees, shrubs, perennials, and groundcovers chosen for resilience, low maintenance, pollinator support, and specific needs of your garden..
Waterwise solutions: Strategies for efficient irrigation, drought-tolerant plantings, mulching, and rain-harvesting options that lower water use and reduce upkeep. (I’m very passionate about this one with our changing climate!)
Soil & nutrition strategy: Simple soil tests (moisture, pH levels) and improvement steps—amendments, composting, and mulching — to create a healthy foundation for your plants.
Pest & disease management: Integrated, eco-friendly approaches to prevent and manage common problems with no chemical use.
STEP 4 Follow-up support: Options for check-in, planting advice, or alternative reccomendations.
PLEASE NOTE: This service does not include any labour or physical planting of your garden. Any suggestions I make will need to be executed by yourself or a hired landscaper.
