New Garden Consultation

You’ve decided this is the year to start a garden—but you’re not sure where to begin. That’s where I come in.

It all starts with a 90-minute garden consultation, where we’ll walk through your yard and assess available space, sunlight exposure, water sources, soil quality, accessibility, and aesthetics. No matter the size of your space, we can make your dream garden a reality. I’ll listen as you describe your vision, ask and answer questions, and help bring your garden to life.

Consultation starts at $175 depending on location.

From there, you have options:

  • You can hire me for a full turnkey garden design and installation, where I handle everything from design to setup.

  • If you prefer a more hands-on approach, I offer a DIY-friendly option with guidance on raised beds or in-ground planting. In this case, the consultation will be more advisory, possibly leading to ongoing coaching rather than installation services.

Coaching for Existing Gardens

Has your garden lost its spark? Whether you started a garden a few years ago that needs a refresh or moved into a home with an overgrown, neglected plot, I can help bring it back to life.

Just like with a brand-new garden, we’ll start with a consultation. I’ll assess your existing space and create a plan to restore its beauty and productivity.

Need help troubleshooting? Whether you’re dealing with pests, planning crop rotations, setting up an affordable irrigation system, or looking for ways to enhance your garden’s design, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Starts at $150 per hour depending on location.

Turnkey Design and Installation

After purchasing a New Garden Consultation, if you choose a turnkey garden installation, I will return to finalize the garden location and I’ll take measurements for the design. Within a few days, you’ll receive a custom garden design and a quote—putting you just weeks away from your dream garden!

After the design session, I’ll provide a full installation proposal with a detailed quote. This breakdown includes all materials, labor, and any additional features, allowing you to see exactly what’s included in your custom kitchen garden. My approach ensures that each element—from the raised beds to the trellises—is crafted to support healthy plant growth and enhance the overall beauty of your garden.

  • Custom Garden Design: $350 for gardens up to 150 square feet, with an additional $100 per extra 100 square feet.

  • Installation Cost: varies per design

Garden Sitting and Handyman Services

Whether you're traveling, taking a break from the DMV’s brutal summer heat, or off on an adventure along the Appalachian Trail, I’ve got your garden covered.

I offer scheduled maintenance for times when you’re unable to tend to your garden yourself, with flexible scheduling options to fit your needs. From watering and harvesting to general upkeep, I’ll ensure your kitchen garden stays healthy and productive while you’re away.

Need more than just maintenance? My garden handyman services can help with tasks like repairing raised beds, setting up trellises, installing simple irrigation systems, or refreshing garden pathways—keeping your space both functional and beautiful.

Enjoy peace of mind knowing your garden is in good hands!

Starts at $75 per hour depending on location.
