CONSULTATIONS
If you are a home gardener, strata association, or property owner needing experienced advice, then these services are for you.
A consultation can help move your yard from feeling like too much to being just right, all while making it more resilient to climate extremes.
In our time together, we walk the property, identifying plants and weeds, and discussing options for improving the soil, choosing drought-tolerant plants, and increasing resilience to fire, flood, and drought.
We will also look at how to adapt the landscape to better align with your available time and energy.
