Holistic Gardening + Design Offerings
Garden styling + technique
Janette’s design approach takes the whole ecosystem into consideration, in addition to her client’s lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. Garden and landscape design is a medium of individualized artistic expression; a facet of the process that Janette both commemorates and respects. Her interpersonal skills, extensive experience, and attention to detail will ensure a beautiful, personalized oasis that serves it’s purpose to maintain a healthy environment, while also reflecting an accurate representation of her client’s vision.
Consultation
The on-site consultation is a time for both parties to conduct a thorough evaluation of the land together, share ideas, preferences, and goals, as well as discuss potential design options. Janette will educate her clients about the importance of welcoming and incorporating birds, insects, and other eco-pollinators into the space. A follow-up report including further pricing estimates is included in the introductory fee. Reports also include suggested plant identifications and their benefits, plant care instructions (maintenance, pest/disease management and Spring + fall clean up), design/layout ideas, recommendations for supplies/necessities, etc. Individual design budgets will be taken into consideration during the creation of the report.
