Could a Garden Consultation be right for you?
- You don’t need a full landscape design but could use some help with planting and/or design ideas
- You’ve recently moved and have no idea if what you have is a weed or a rare botanical treasure and could use some help identifying plants in your new garden
- You’re new to gardening and want to learn more but you’re overwhelmed with all the information out there and don’t know how or where to start
- You have a “problem” area that you need help with, whether that be ideas to give you a privacy screen from your neighbor’s not-so-lovely garbage pile or an area where nothing (but weeds) seems to grow
- You have some ideas (or your spouse does ) but you’re just not sure if they will work and you’d like a second opinion
If this sounds like you, I’m here to help!
With over 18 years of experience as a Certified Professional Horticulturist and Landscape Designer, I’ve seen the good, bad and the ugly. While I no longer practice landscape design, I am still passionate about helping people avoid costly mistakes and create the garden of their dreams. I’ve helped hundreds of people transform their problem landscapes into lush garden sanctuaries that bring them years of joy and beauty. You can see some of the examples HERE
