Consultations

Consultations include a minimum of 1 hr of walking your garden, answering your questions, sharing ideas & solutions, and teaching. This is a wonderful way to get a lot done in a short time. I can help you with plant identification, solving plant disease problems, finding the right plant for struggling plants, pruning, invasive identification & removal techniques, garden design, cutting gardens, vegetable gardens, meadows, and of course, pollinator friendly and native plant plants. I do not provide a written summary of the information shared during this time, but you are most welcome to record our conversation.

I am located in Weston, CT. Travel time for in person consultations beyond 20 minutes is billable time. Cost: $350 per hour and you may book below!

Garden Design

My hope with each garden design is to change or improve how you use and feel in your outdoor space. Each design starts with us talking about how do you ideally see yourself and your family using your garden and discussing things you like or dislike. My style is a full, wild, pollinator friendly, lush gardens full of pathways and rooms. I use a lot of native plants in my designs in an effort to give you both an easier group of plants to maintain as well as to support biodiversity.

Designs start with a consultation, which you may book above. In our consultation we will review everything you would like, and look at the proposed site. At the end of our meeting, I will give you an estimate for the cost of a completed design, which includes a plant list, layout drawing, and an estimate for installation using my crew. I charge a fee for my designs, because you then have my work when I give it to you. We do installations in the Spring & Fall.

Garden Management

We take a limited number of Weston, CT clients into our garden management program. This is an ideal service if you live in Weston, CT and have (or want!) large perennial beds, cutting gardens, or vegetable gardens and would like weekly services. We do not offer lawn care. I have a team of knowledgable crew who work with me to weed, water, prune, move plants, stake, remove invasive plants, manage meadows, etc.

Cost: This service is billed monthly, and we charge hourly rates per person. The crew is $60 per hour per person and I (Christina) am $200 per hour. To discuss working together to manage your gardens, please book a consultation above.
