Let’s Grow Together
Services I offer
I serve my neighborhood of Eastside Lansing, Michigan and areas beyond that are accessible by ebike and public transport with garden consulting, design, coaching and care-full maintenance.
Consultations
- Initial consultation offered at no charge: Up to 1 hour-long consultation by video chat or phone call. We will discuss your desires for your outdoor space, likes and dislikes, existing issues and opportunities of the site, and where care is needed. A formal consultation brief write-up is then made with recommendations for what could be done to achieve your goals and how I can help.
- In-depth consultations at your site/property, with recommendations all delivered in a formal write-up afterwards on recommendations to achieve your goals, plants you could use, functional elements to add and construction to consider. This is a great place to get you started if you want to design the gardens and landscape yourself, be your own general contractor, and/or DIY the implementation yourself.
Garden care and maintenance
- Garden maintenance tasks such as weeding, deadheading, pruning, planting, dividing, mulching, fertilizing, watering, organic and IPM pest-control, small tree training, hedge trimming, bed edging, smaller shrub removal, and general garden bed maintenance.
- Spring and autumn tidy-ups.
- Overgrown garden and path clearing.
- Winter shrub and smaller tree trimming.
- Garden installations at certain scales.
- Garden care done without gasoline-powered tools, using instead electric or manual tools.
Garden and landscape designs tailored to YOU
- Garden and landscape designs customized for the site and you and your family, the way you want to use the property and that compliments your home, your values and your lifestyle.
- Detailed plant designs to help you grow for your needs, optimizing space and customized to your aesthetic, dietary and medicinal* needs and preferences.
- Designs and plant plannings available in drawn and/or digital formats.
- Garden project implementation and maintenance plan to keep projects on track.
- *See my medical disclaimer.
Coaching
- One-on-one garden coaching throughout the growing season to assist with growing, such as pest/disease control, productivity, succession planting, seeding, planting, division, and training and trellising.
- Coaching for the DIYers, those taking design and implementation of the design into their own hands. I can coach you through doing a site survey, creating a base map, concept plan and design plan, provide design feedback, recommend ways to source materials and plants, and when and who to call when you need an expert.
