In what locations do you offer consultations?
I love to meet one-on-one with gardeners in the Madison, WI and surrounding area (Middleton, Monona, Deforest, Sun Prairie, Waunakee, McFarland, Verona, Fitchburg). If you live outside this region we can connect over the phone for a consultation (See below).
What if I’m just starting a garden?
If you’re new to gardening then a consultation is a perfect way to start! Instead of correcting design mistakes and reorganizing your garden later, I’ll give you professional advice about laying a good foundation. We can focus on design and installation tips and tricks so that you do it right the first time.
What if I already have a garden?
If you already have a garden you might feel ready for a fresh perspective and new ideas on how to reorganize your garden for more success. If you have been unhappy with your garden’s performance then we’ll address your issues and come up with some action items. A consultation is the time to get lots of your gardening questions answered! I’d love to help you take your gardening to the next level.
How long is a garden consultation?
We’ll meet in your garden for one hour. I find that one hour of information is about the perfect amount of time to discuss lots of ideas but not too much that you’ll feel overwhelmed. We can schedule another visits if you’d like to cover more topics.
What does a phone consultation entail?
We’ll chat by phone or Skype for one hour. You’ll send me photos of your garden and a list of topics you’d like to talk about during our conversation. Or, if you want to get really fancy we can use video during the call and you can show me some things in your garden that you have questions about! While we won’t be meeting face to face in your garden, I can still offer lots of personalized advice and instruction over the phone.
