How the Gardenwise Process Works

Consult-first approach

Gardenwise follows a consult-first approach so every recommendation is grounded in your space, your goals, and the realities of your site.

We begin with an on-site Starter Garden Consult, then outline next steps based on what will truly support your garden, whether that is a design plan, coordination support, or seasonal guidance.

The process is flexible and collaborative. Some clients move forward with additional services, while others take the consult guidance and implement on their own.
