Mixed plantings in June

Work with Kit to plan the yard you want that you can plant and maintain

Gardener’s Advisor Rates and Work

You can understand and modify your own yard with a bit of help. That’s where I come in: I evaluate your garden for and with you, so you can decide what to do with it and how to implement your plan. My specialties are native plants and lower care plants, but I’m not a purist. And I help evaluate your stormwater issues.

 

My rate is $150 for the first consultation and recommendations. This involves evaluating the questionnaire you fill out (see below), a visit to your yard with you (usually an hour or two), with recommendations both on-site and in a short report to you afterwards. Included in the consultation are the booklet: Native Plants for Wildlife Habitat and Conservation Landscaping, other books on loan, useful websites, plant lists, and care and pruning options. I generally include evaluations of the health of your major plantings, suggestions for relocating if needed, swapping for more appropriate plantings.

 

I evaluate and suggest opportunities for collecting and soaking-in stormwater in ways that don’t compromise your home, using native plants. All this is dependent on your needs and desires. After the initial consultation and written follow-up, I am available for checkups in later seasons at an hourly rate. 

 

Next step: Fill out the questionnaire
