Garden Set-up consultation
From “I have a garden” to “I am a gardener.” This is the first step.
This consultation is for homeowners in the Northwest Suburbs and Chicagoland who already have a garden and would like to get better results. It’s for gardeners who don’t just want a few quick answers, but want to truly understand their garden and grow with more confidence over time.
For many clients, this consultation becomes the first step in an ongoing coaching relationship that helps them integrate gardening into their lifestyle instead of constantly guessing what to do next.
You may be a good fit if:
some plants thrive while others struggle
cucumbers don’t produce or tomatoes take over
plants die too early
wildlife keeps getting to your harvest
you’re tired of constant weeding
or your garden just isn’t producing as much as you hoped
Most gardeners reach out because they know something isn’t quite working, they just don’t know what to change.
What is a Garden Setup Consultation?
A Garden Setup Consultation is an in-person visit where I come to your home and walk through your existing garden with you.
We look at how your garden is set up — what you’re growing, where it’s planted, how the sun moves across your space, how your plants are supported, and how you care for them day to day.
By looking at your garden through a design and coaching lens, I help you understand what your garden needs to be more productive, easier to manage, and more enjoyable to use.
You’ll learn how to:
improve your garden setup for better results
simplify the way you care for your garden
and grow more food in the space you already have
After our visit, you’ll receive a written summary with personalized recommendations and clear guidance tailored to your space and goals.
Who This Is For
This consultation is ideal for gardeners seeking long-term support on their gardening journey:
homeowners with raised bed or in-ground vegetable gardens
gardeners who want to grow more food at home
people who want guidance instead of years of trial and error
gardeners who want their space to feel organized and productive
anyone who wants their garden to fit their lifestyle
My Approach
I look at how your entire garden functions as a system, then i show you exactly what needs to shift so it starts working for you.
This service is best for those who want longer term ongoing support. The consultation is the first step: we assess your setup, build a strong foundation, and then you can continue learning alongside me through a longer term coaching model (3, 6 or 9 months) designed to help your garden (and your confidence) grow season after season.
