Garden Consultation & Coaching
Where it all begins! I'll provide guidance tailored to you, your vision, and your space by:
-Identifying plants and giving recommendations for maintenance or removal strategies for invasive plants
-Assessing growing conditions so you can choose plants that will thrive in your space
-Recommending maintenance practices that will help you use your time efficiently
-Discussing your goals for your garden and make suggestions for how to get there
-Making tool recommendations so you can make sure to buy the right thing the first time
-Answering any gardening questions you have and empower you to do it yourself!
A great starting place if you are thinking about a design plan--the cost of this consultation will be applied to the price of a plan. But a consultation alone is a powerful tool that can set you on a successful path toward crafting a beautiful outdoor space!
Design Plan
This is a deposit toward a custom garden plan for you to execute. Booking will allow you to schedule a time for us to look at your space together and discuss your vision. Afterwards, I will provide a price determined by the size of the space and the scope of plan. The cost of this initial meeting will be applied toward the cost of the plan. Custom design plan includes:
-A hand-drawn, to-scale plan mapping out your space and recommended plant locations.
-Recommendations for native plants suitable for your site
-A step-by-step guide with preparation, planting, and maintenance instructions so you can bring your vision to life!

“Julia had great advice and was so easy to talk to. She took great consideration to ask about the soil quality and sunlight for the spot in question and she taught me about keystone plants and space/size considerations when selecting plants.”
Testimonials
“I was totally lost and overwhelmed with getting a native garden started. The consultation gave me a clear plan to get started and now I'm almost finished planting!”
“I was very satisfied with the consultation. Not only did we discuss new options for design but also how to reposition and repurpose my existing plants. She understood and was very accepting of my limited knowledge and gardening abilities.”
