Plans

No two yards, or families, are the same. That’s why we design gardens that fit your space, lifestyle, and goals. Want raised beds for vegetables? A pollinator strip to support bees and butterflies? A mix of containers for a small patio? We’ll create a plan that works with your yard and your time, whether you want a few hours of gardening a week or a low-maintenance design that mostly takes care of itself.

Coaching

Confidence

The goal isn’t just to design your garden - it’s to give you the knowledge and confidence to enjoy it for years to come.

During your consult, we’ll walk you through soil, sun, water, and planting choices, so you learn as we plan.

With clear action steps, seasonal planting calendars, and ongoing support if you want it, you’ll always know what to do next - and you’ll feel empowered to grow with ease.
