I’d love to help you grow your own food!
Gardening can be fun, rewarding, and therapeutic, but getting started can feel overwhelming. I’ve spent years helping friends and family plan their gardens—choosing the best location, selecting growing methods, deciding what and when to plant, and troubleshooting along the way. My passion runs deep, and I love turning garden dreams into reality.
During a consultation, I’ll offer personalized advice tailored to your space and goals. Together, we’ll create a plan for a productive, low-maintenance garden that provides fresh food and a beautiful backyard haven.
There’s no wrong time to start planning—reach out whenever you're ready!
During a consultation, I can help you:
Choose the ideal garden location with sun exposure, accessibility, and beauty in mind.
Explore different gardening methods—raised beds, in-ground rows, mound beds, straw bales, vertical gardening, and containers—explaining the pros and cons to find the best fit for your space.
Help you select the best fruits and vegetables for our region, with variety recommendations and planting timelines.
Share ideas to help you set up practical systems to simplify maintenance and ensure garden success.
Assess existing gardens, troubleshoot issues, and suggest improvements.
Maximize yield to grow more in the space you have.
Discover preservation methods for your harvest.
Design a garden that’s both productive and beautiful.
Let’s create a space that works for you!

Consultation pricing includes a resource document to recap what we talk about. This document will cover your specific questions, and also include a ton of additional resources and advice.
I don’t want money to be a barrier to you starting your own garden. If my pricing doesn’t fit your budget please reach out. I would be happy to discuss what could be a better price for you, or would we could trade some hours spent helping me in my garden for a consultation. I would love to do a work trade!
