Book an On-Site Design Consultation
During this 1-hour consultation we will ask about your goals and vision for your gardens, as well as any obstacles you may be facing bringing them to life. We will discuss how you want to use your space and how to best tailor it to your lifestyle, as well as anything you have learned about your property & landscape.
Our Lead Gardener will draw on this information to propose eco-friendly solutions built around your needs and preferences.
You will receive a package including:
a sketch of your property
a list of recommended actions
a write-up outlining your options
An On-Site Design Consultation is $200. This consultation can stand alone as a service or be applied toward the total cost of your project, should you hire us to do a full design and installation.
We would love to help make your garden dreams come true!

Our Lead Gardener Vanessa has been gardening professionally in Western MA since 2020, after years of sowing seeds in her own personal kitchen gardens. She takes inspiration from the organic and naturalistic nature of English cottage gardens and the experiential design of Japanese zen gardens. Her work focuses on prioritizing sustainability and ecological health while also creating a sense of place and intentionality within our outdoor environments.
She is certified in Permaculture Design from Sowing Solutions in Shelburne Falls, MA. Vanessa maintains a strong connection with gardeners, permaculture specialists and horticulturists in the area in order to adapt as a community to the evolving challenges of climate change.
