I'll walk your property with you and read what's already there — sun, soil, slope, water — while we talk through what you actually want to be eating. You'll leave with a hand-drawn sketch of where the beds go and why, and a written plan in your inbox within 48 hours: what to plant, when to plant it on Atlanta's calendar, and what to fix first. Whether you build it yourself or hire me to build it, you'll know exactly what you're building.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A full design includes site analysis, scaled layout drawings showing plant placement and hardscape elements, a comprehensive plant list with quantities and sources, soil preparation specifications, irrigation recommendations, and a phased implementation plan that breaks the project into manageable stages.
-
We specialize in edible and medicinal garden designs—kitchen gardens, herb gardens and pollinator gardens—rather than traditional ornamental landscaping. The focus is always on productive spaces that support your transition from screen time to green time.
-
Designs are created with DIY implementation in mind, though we can recommend trusted local contractors if you prefer professional installation. Many clients enjoy doing the planting themselves while hiring out hardscape work like raised bed construction or irrigation installation.
-
We specify appropriate soil amendments for clay, recommend resilient plant varieties proven in Atlanta conditions, incorporate proper drainage solutions, and create year-round planting plans that work with our mild winters and hot, humid summers.
-
Most designs take 2-3 weeks from initial site visit to final deliverables, depending on project complexity. We'll have a concept review meeting midway through where you can provide feedback before we finalize the detailed plans, ensuring the design truly reflects your vision.
