Services
A thriving garden doesn't start in the soil — it starts with a vision. Whether you're working with a sun-drenched backyard, a modest raised bed, or transforming a communal space, the right design transforms any space into something productive, beautiful, and deeply personal.
At Dirt Rich Gardens, I design and plan around the way you want to live.
Intensive growing methods allow us to maximize every square foot — pairing crops thoughtfully, honoring the seasons, and creating gardens that feel intentional and beautiful — from the first planting to the final harvest.
Here’s a look at how we can work together.
Let's design something worth growing.
Every service starts with a free discovery call to discuss your space, your goals, and how we’ll explore your garden possibilities together. Not everyone needs the same level of support, so if you’re looking for guidance but don’t know where to begin, let’s hop on a call.
Garden Consult (for existing gardens)
“I’m new to gardening, I have a community space I’d like to transform into a garden, or my garden is struggling to produce. I’m looking for an idea of what’s possible with immediate next steps to elevate my growing.”
This consult is ideal if you want immediate guidance on growing or are considering a complete garden redesign but aren’t sure where to start.
Our consultation begins with a visit to my home garden, where you’ll get a complimentary tour of how I grow. You’ll see what’s possible in a real, working kitchen garden, and then we’ll sit down and talk through your goals and aspirations for your own space.
Next, we'll schedule a walk-through of your garden space together, assess what you're working with, and discuss your needs and goals, so you know exactly what to do next.
