Garden Consultation
​
Through our ecological consulting, our mission is to help homeowners source regionally appropriate plant species.
“In the past, we have asked one thing of our gardens: that they be pretty. Now they have to support life, sequester carbon, feed pollinators and manage water.”
— DOUG TALLAMY
Consulting and Plant Acquisition Services
Today’s conventional garden design standards often fail to support pollinators and nourish the insects that are vital for the reproduction of birds, reptiles, amphibians, and many mammals. Additionally, when it comes to carbon capture, turf is not the most effective plant choice.
We frequently meet people who are eager to create biologically diverse gardens using native plants. However, the challenge often lies in selecting the right plants and sourcing them.
​
That’s where we come in!
​
With access to high-quality, locally grown plant material and a deep understanding of regionally appropriate native plants, we can guide you on your journey to creating a native plant habitat for your home or business.
​
Here are four ecological goals we aim to achieve through the installation of native plant species:
-
Support a diverse community of pollinators.
-
Provide energy for the local food web.
-
Manage the watershed in which the plants reside.
-
Remove carbon from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate the impact of climate change.

Consultation Services Overview​
Our consultation services begin with a comprehensive 60-minute evaluation of your garden. During this visit, we assess the current plant material, evaluating plant health and longevity. We’ll address any questions or concerns you have about your existing plants and overall garden.
We’ll also provide suggestions for current or future garden projects you may be considering. Following the onsite consultation, we will send you a detailed follow-up, which includes a list of the plants we propose for your space, along with quantities. For DIY clients, we will provide information on local nurseries where you can source the plants yourself.
Consultation Fee
Our initial consultation fee is $200. This fee covers our time and expertise, as well as travel, communication, and follow-up associated with the process.​
Additionally, we offer plant acquisition services to help source and deliver the materials for your project.
​
Plant Sourcing, Delivery and Layout Session
For clients interested in this service, following the initial consultation, we will provide a proposal that includes a detailed list of plant materials, quantities, and pricing. Once you approve the proposed garden plan, we will begin sourcing and acquiring your plants. We’ll then schedule a convenient time and date for the delivery and a 60-minute layout session.
Our fee for the design process, plant sourcing, acquisition, delivery, and layout of the plant material is $500. This pricing is based on the amount of plant material required. This fee is separate from the cost of the plant material itself.
Please note that oversized or large quantities of plants may incur additional delivery fees.
