Design, installation, maintenance, and mentorship.
Design
The first step to creating the garden of your dreams. A comprehensive design will ensure that your goals are thoughtfully combined with our expertise to create a beautiful and productive space.
Every custom garden design begins with an on-site consultation where we become familiar with your site and your goals. From here, to-scale maps and drawings will lay out your future garden, including pathways and hardscaping elements such as fences and trellises.
Designs also include seasonal crop lists to ensure maximum productivity throughout the entire growing season.
maintain
Once your garden installation is complete, our team will ensure that your space stays healthy, beautiful, and productive throughout the growing season.
Weekly or bi-weekly visits from our crew will ensure that your garden is getting the attention that it needs to thrive. Maintenance visits will include pruning, weeding, fertilization, pest control, trellising, and succession planting- ensuring a stress free growing season for any client.
Along with maintenance tasks, our team can also deliver your harvest right to your door. Clients who are interested will have a basket of their own home-grown produce placed on their doorstep ready for cooking.
Build
Whether a network of raised beds, a traditional in-ground garden, or just a patio planter, we will make your garden concept a reality.
Using non-toxic materials such as hardwoods, metal, and stone, our team will build long-lasting and beautiful garden elements so that you can grow food for years to come.
By installing attractive, quality hardscapes, we will set you up for success and create cohesive spaces that you will enjoy spending time in.
Mentor
Want to learn more about home vegetable gardening, but don’t know where to start? We can help.
Mentorship sessions are available to clients who are interested in learning more about everything that goes into growing, harvesting, and utilizing home-grown produce. We’ll teach you everything we know.
Key topics covered in these sessions include pest and disease control strategies, propagation, pruning, when and how to harvest, and tips on preserving your harvest. We’ll even show you how to dry, pickle, and can your harvest.
Sessions are totally customizable and can be client-directed. We also love kids, and are happy to help get them excited about growing!
Install
When your garden begins to take on its true form. This is when we fill your space with annual and perennial crops and begin the growing process.
Installs begin with all natural soil preparation using organic compost and soil amendments. Then, your garden will be planted out with seeds and transplants to set the stage for a season of abundance.
Where applicable, drip irrigation systems can be installed to ensure that your pants will thrive regardless of weather.
