With this 1 hour, on-site consultation, we will turn your gardens into a thriving, low-maintenance escape! I will provide my personalized guidance to help you design, plant, and maintain a beautiful garden for years to come.
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.
STEP 1 Tell me about your garden: We’ll start by having you email me an outline 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 assessment: A thorough walk-through (or virtual tour) to evaluate soil, sun exposure, drainage, existing plants, hardscape, and microclimates.
STEP 3 Customized suggestions: Within one week of our walk-through, 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 included:
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-ins, planting assistance, or phased implementation to ensure your project succeeds from start to finish.
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.
