Ideal for clients with small gardens, yards or patios or anyone who is looking for direction, inspiration or tips for DIY-ing your outdoor space.

This service includes a one-off meeting in your garden, yard or patio where we will walk through the space and chat in an ask-me-anything style discussion. I recommend preparing a few topics that you’d like to discuss during our session so that we can get the most out of our time together.

Garden consults are a minimum of 1.5 hours and can be up to 2 hours for larger gardens. A follow up email detailing our discussion is included in this service.

We offer one on one coaching sessions for clients who want to learn how to care for their garden through hands on training.

Our coaching program is started by purchasing a coaching package. Packages include 3, 5 or 10 hours of on site coaching that can be used at any point throughout the season.

After our initial meeting, clients will have access to the Garden Folk calendar and may book sessions by the hour at any point during the growing season (March - November). This allows for a wide range of topics to be covered depending on your garden needs and goals.

We will work with you to develop your gardening skills, allowing you to gain confidence in your garden and see the rewards of your labor.

Sessions may include but are not limited to the following topics:

Seed sowing techniques and best practices

planting patterns and creating flow

plant selection and sourcing
