Garden Design

Are you wanting to transform your own home garden into a refuge for yourself and pollinators but don't know where to start? Perhaps you are looking to add more edible plants or a flock of backyard chickens to combat rising food prices and grow healthy, chemical free food for your family and need help planning out your space.

I am now offering garden consultations as well as design and installation. If you are dreaming of a cottage style garden that incorporates native plants, edible plants, and non-invasive ornamentals, then you have come to the right place.  My style is lush, dense, and functional in terms of ecosystem benefits and pollinator support.  

A consultation is a one hour walk and talk around your space focusing on any problem areas or spaces where you would like help.  At the end you will be provided a copy of my notes that will include any plant or management recommendations.  The cost of a consultation is $100 within my service area of Elburn, Campton Hills, Sugar Grove, St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, and Sycamore. 

For design work, I will walk you through creating a garden from scratch or rejuvenating an existing space.  I am currently only taking on projects that are 500 square feet or less for new designs. Design projects always begin with a consultation and include plant procurement and installation if desired. Gardens are dynamic and ever changing and plants ultimately decide where they want to grow.  Because of this I do not offer drawn out plans for garden designs.  Instead, you will be provided with a digital snapshot of what will be blooming each season so you can identify plants as they emerge throughout the seasons.  This way as your garden matures and plants seed around your space you will not be stuck with an outdated map but rather a key to learning the plants in your garden for yourself.  Cost for design is based upon the scope of work and plants chosen.
