Gardens that feed you, sustain you, and grow with you.
Services
Whether you're starting from scratch or ready to take your yard to the next level — it all starts with standing in your space.
Garden Consultation
The best garden advice starts with standing in your space.
Every property is different — the light, the soil, the bones of what's already there. Before I make a single recommendation, I walk your space with you. We talk about what's working, what isn't, and where you want to go.
What’s included:
On-site property walkthrough
Planting advice — what to plant where and why
Troubleshooting existing garden issues
Phased lawn-to-garden conversion ideas
Seasonal planning guidance
In-person only — every space deserves eyes on it.
Garden Design
Every great garden starts with a plan that actually fits your life.
Whether you want to grow food, restore habitat, reduce lawn, or all three — I'll evaluate your space and we'll design something beautiful, functional, and achievable. Every plan is built to be executed in phases, so you can move at your own pace and budget.
Specialty design areas:
Foodscaping & edible landscaping
Food forests & permaculture systems
Integrated native plants & companion planting
Rain gardens
No-mow lawns
Pollinator gardens
Native prairie strips
What's included:
Whole-property or small-space design plans
Raised and in-ground edible garden planting plans with seasonal successions
Phase-by-phase transformation planning
A plan that fits your land, your life, and your budget.
Installation & Planting
From plan to planted.
I personally handle small to medium-scale installations — getting your hands dirty is the best part. Every installation begins with proper soil prep, because a beautiful garden starts below the surface.
What's included:
Site evaluation — sun, soil, drainage, and layout
Soil prep and garden bed setup
Plant sourcing recommendations & assistance
Edible garden planting — vegetables, herbs, fruit & food forests
Ornamental planting — perennials, trees, shrubs, and flowers
Seasonal transitions
Small-scale irrigation systems
For hardscaping, heavy earthwork, large cleanup services, or mowing — I'll connect you with trusted specialists and can coordinate across your whole project.
Garden Maintenance & Ongoing Care
A garden is never finished — it evolves.
This is where the real relationship begins. Garden editing is the ongoing, skilled tending of your space — adjusting, refining, and responding to what the season and the soil are telling you. It's the difference between a garden that survives and one that truly thrives.
Many Garden Karma clients start with a consultation and design, then move into a regular editing rhythm — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on the season and the space.
What's included:
Maintain established gardens — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly visits
Seasonal pruning, editing & replanting
Soil & ecosystem health adjustments
Garden productivity support
Coaching visits for the hands-on gardener
Plant shopping — with you or on your behalf
Houseplant & garden sitting
Seasonal Planters
Beautiful containers, every season.
Four seasons of color, texture, and life — designed and installed for your home or business. Seasonal planters are a low-effort, high-impact way to keep your outdoor spaces beautiful year-round. I handle everything from selection to installation to seasonal swaps.
Available for both residential and corporate clients, always designed with your space, style, and budget in mind.
What's included:
Residential seasonal planter design & installation
Corporate & business seasonal planter programs
4-season rotation packages
Budget-conscious options available
Workshops & Community Education
Sharing what I know is part of why I do this work.
From backyard workshops for curious homeowners to programming at co-ops, maker markets, and nonprofit events — I love helping people connect with the idea that their yard can do more.
Whether you want to learn the basics of foodscaping, understand native plants, or figure out how to start a food garden from scratch, there's a workshop for that.
What's included:
Private workshops — for individuals, households, or small groups
Community & nonprofit events
Co-op and maker market appearances
