What is an Atlanta Garden Consultant?

A garden consultant is a local gardening expert who helps Atlanta residents design, install, and maintain productive home gardens—especially kitchen gardens, herb gardens, and edible landscapes. Unlike big box stores that overwhelm beginners with products, garden consultants start with personalized guidance based on your specific goals and location.

Working with a garden consultant means getting someone who understands Atlanta's unique challenges: red clay soil, unpredictable heat, specific frost dates, and which plants thrive in our zone. They visit your space (in-person or virtually) to assess sunlight, proximity to water sources, and aesthetics, then create a customized design that fits your lifestyle.

Garden consultants offer various services: one-time design consultations, ongoing coaching sessions, garden design and seasonal planting plans tailored to Atlanta's growing calendar. Whether you're a complete beginner overwhelmed by gardening advice online or an intermediate gardener wanting to expand your space, a garden consultant provides the local knowledge and hands-on mentorship to help you succeed—without wasting time or money on trial and error.
