Growing up, my dad was a home gardener, and my mom loved landscaping with colorful flowers

—I’m a blend of both.

I provide design and consulting services to help you create your dream garden. I do it because gardening tends to my soul. I have always loved spending time in nature with my husband and children, finding joy in the simplicity of life and appreciating the many ways the Lord provides. Even something as small as a seed dropped by a bird, growing into a thriving tree, serves as a reminder of His constant care and provision.

One of my favorite examples of this is the mulberry tree outside our home, which was planted naturally by a bird. Each spring, it produces sweet mulberries, offering not only a delicious treat but also a beautiful tradition that allows me to create lasting memories with my family.

Meet Cecily : Gardening Consultant & Designer

Gardening has been a huge blessing in my life, providing a sense of peace when things feel chaotic. I love being out in the garden with my boys, showing them how plants grow, teaching them about companion planting, and exploring the different bugs that play a role in the garden’s ecosystem. It’s not only a fun and fulfilling experience for me, but also an incredible educational tool for them. I’m excited to share this passion with clients, helping them learn about gardening and inspiring them to cultivate their own food for their homes and families.

Let’s walk through my process.

  • Step 1 : Custom On-Site Consultation

    Your garden of your dreams begins with a tailored on-site consultation. I will visit your home or business to walk the space with you, discuss your vision, and gain an understanding of your families desires for the garden and overall aesthetic of your garden space.

    Consultations are $ 85 per hour, with a one-hour minimum. Additional time is billed accordingly.

  • Step 2: Custom Garden Design

    After your consultation, I’ll craft a personalized garden design tailored to your vision. Your plan will be drawn to scale, ensuring accuracy in layout and estimates.

    • Design time is billed at $75 per hour.

    • An estimated timeframe will be provided during your site visit.

  • Step 3 : Design Review

    Lettuce turnip the beet! Once your gardening plan is complete, we’ll meet at your home or your place of choice to review it together. You’ll see your design on paper, explore plant choices, and discuss any adjustments. After the review, I will refine the plan before finalizing the estimate.

  • Step 4 : Project Estimate

    After finalizing your design, I will prepare a detailed estimate. If needed, we can break it down by area or item to accommodate phased installation. All estimates and budgets for installation are provided at no cost.

  • Step 5 : The Install

    Once you approve the estimate, I will schedule your installation. A 20% deposit is required to secure your spot.

  • Step 6 : Maintenance

    Thyme to get growing! This step is optional and depends on who will be maintaining the garden space. I charge $75 per hour, depending on the amount of garden space will allot the time needed weekly for the upkeep.

    Please note, Additional charges may apply based on the products selected—examples include plants, compost, mulch, manure, plant structures, and other essential gardening supplies.
