On-Site Consultations
Your property has unique qualities that will direct any native gardening projects you pursue. An on-site consultation is a quick way to learn about your space, get key questions answered, and start confidently planning for the future.
How does it work?
I will come to your home or business and identify your existing plants, assess the growing conditions, and point out any unique properties of the land. From there we will discuss your vision for the space, any challenges you've had so far, and good next steps. I'll also review land stewardship practices that you can start implementing immediately to improve your support of our wildlife and waterways.
​
*If you are interested in beginning a design project, I will need an additional hour to take measurements of the space to be designed.
​
After the consultation, I'll send you a message with any follow-ups to your questions, a summary of my recommendations, plus my Quick Start Guide, a unique set of links and resources that I ​​personally use and recommend.​
