Gardenwise Design and Consulting

Book a Starter Consult

The Starter Garden Consult is the first step in working with Gardenwise. This paid, on-site visit provides focused, site-specific guidance to help you understand your garden, clarify priorities, and decide what steps make sense next.

All Gardenwise services begin with this consult to ensure recommendations are grounded in your space, your goals, and the realities of your site.

What to expect

The Starter Garden Consult includes:

  • A 90-minute on-site visit

  • Assessment of sun exposure, soil conditions, irrigation, and layout and discuss opportunities and constraints specific to your garden.

    You’ll receive:

  • a visual site concept with design notes

  • a written summary of key observations

  • and clear recommendations to move your garden forward.

    After the visit, you will receive a follow-up summary with recommendations and resources to support next steps.
