Consultation & Garden Design
Anyone can be a co-creator and a steward of nature. Whether you’re aiming to start a farm or enhance the beauty and function of your home landscape my consultation and design services are here to help.
By incorporating fruit and nut trees, shrubs, mushrooms, perennial vegetables, animals and other features into our landscapes we can play a part in restoring health to our local ecosystems and building resilience for ourselves and our communities. Plus we are rewarded in the form of sweet persimmons, hearty chestnuts, crunchy apples and many other gifts that the earth gives us for offering forth our love and attention.
Permaculture Landscape Design Consultations
Our Landscape Design Consultations are comprehensive site visits where we explore design ideas tailored to your property. We evaluate the existing trees, shrubs, and herbs, and discuss potential changes and additions to enhance benefit for both the client and the wildlife. We aim to incorporate more native, beneficial, edible, and medicinal plants, as well as integrate systems like water management, composting, passive energy capture, and more.
What to Expect
During a consultation, you’ll receive guidance on:
Which plant species are already growing on your property
What changes to the landscape can be implemented to maximize benefits to you and the wildlife
How to incorporate more native, edible & medicinal plants and mushrooms into your property and increase biological diversity
Which systems you can implement that will help you make your property more regenerative and efficient
After the consultation, clients receive a detailed write-up summarizing our discussion, including resources for nurseries and plant orders. If desired, we can proceed with creating a detailed design for implementation.
Please note: Permaculture Consultations do not include a design deliverable.
