Services

We're passionate at showing you how to garden in an easy-to-understand hands-on way. Our services include:

• A Yard Walk- and- Talk

A 45-60 minute session in your yard (time based on a small suburban yard), going over what you have, generally how to care for them, and a discussion the types of things you want to do in your garden.  At the end of this visit, you will receive personalized reference material listing:

• • • Your existing plants and how to maintain them

    • The identification of invasive plants and a plan for removal (on your timeline)

    • Plans for your next season of gardening based on your needs, wants, and time

    • Lists of supplies to buy and places to buy them

    • Lists of suggested plants and places to buy them

• Work-by-Side Education

We set and finish a specific task together, so that you can learn how to do something as it gets done. Tasks include:

• Creating a bed out of lawn space

• Building a raised bed

• Transplanting plants or sowing seeds

• Thinning or harvesting vegetables

• Thinning and weeding a perennial bed

• Walking a garden store or perusing a plant catalog/website and developing a planting plan

• Getting overgrown bushes under control

• Setting up a rain barrel

• Setting up a compost system

We can take care of your garden while you are away or unable to care for it.

Services can include

• Babysitting off property of seedlings that need multiple-times-a-day watering

Sometimes you just run out of time to do the things you need to do in the garden, or there's just one thing you dislike doing and you need someone to do it for you. Or sometimes you just need someone to keep you honest and work alongside you until a job is done. Services include:

• Prepping

• Weeding

• Transplanting

• Deadheading

• Thinning

• Weeding

• Harvesting (and washing/trimming/getting to your kitchen)

*We do not do any application of herbicide and pesticide.

We specialize in small jobs that in a perfect world owners would always have a few hours to finish themselves.
