General Garden Planning and Consultation

I am happy to support people creating completely new gardens or rehabbing and reorganizing older established ones in the following ways:

  • Garden layout – Location planning, full or partial design, planting guidance, maintenance, weekly coaching. Incorporating perennials, annuals, trees and shrubs – whatever is the best fit for your space. (some offerings also available virtually)
  • Creation of botanical sanctuary – Reintroducing native and/or endangered native medicinal plants into the landscape.
  • Public garden space consultation, design, implementation – planting for your community, supporting access, troubleshooting common issues

Medicinal Garden Planning and Consultation

Do you want to learn more about tending herbs & tending to your own health? You’ve come to the right place! Connecting with plants allows us to connect more deeply with ourselves and our communities, keeping us healthier and in balance. My offerings to support you in this are:

  • Garden consultation and selection of plants to grow for your personal medicinal needs for your at-home apothecary
  • Education around best harvest practices – how and when to harvest flowers, leaves, roots and simple ways to prepare them into medicine which can be a one time meeting or a coaching series.
  • Cover cropping for herbal harvest
  • Drying room design and set up for your home or farmimg_3984
