Garden Consultation Services

Planning and Site Assessment

My expertise and experience will help address the myriad items to consider when planning a garden. First we will assess all of the elements affecting the proposed garden site, such as wind, moisture, orientation, sunlight, water movement and microclimates. Soil analysis will dictate what amendments should be used. I will analyze site conditions and advise to the best of my ability on to how to maximize or mitigate these conditions.

Landscape Consulting Before You Buy

Are you in the process of choosing a new home or office? Curious if the landscape is healthy and well maintained or perhaps it is in need of some major work? Before you put in your final bid, have a professional assess the landscape and irrigation system. I can assess the situation and let you know any potential problems.

Maximizing the Edible Landscape

Most home gardens are confined to a small space, and getting the maximum output can be challenging. I will help you in planting the right plants at the right times to ensure a plentiful, continuing harvest from your garden, making a substantial dent in your grocery bill at the same time.

"Working with Heidi has been a joy. She works with a depth of horticulture knowledge coupled with a clear and efficient focus on how to apply and execute the vision of what we have developed together. She shares her skills generously, communicates clearly, and I have become a much better gardener because of her! With Heidi's help, I have been able to transform an uninteresting front yard into a beautiful display of grasses, perennials, and vegetables!" —Ever grateful, Kathleen
