Clear and Simple Solutions

At Gardenwise, we know that no two gardens - or gardeners - are the same. That’s why we’ve created flexible consulting packages to meet you where you are.

Whether you’re just starting out and need a clear action plan, or you want ongoing support through Yakima’s growing seasons, there’s a package designed for you.

Our consulting options cover everything from one-time coaching sessions to full garden designs and hands-on installation support. Each package is built around Yakima Valley’s unique climate, irrigation schedule, and seasonal timing, so you’ll always know the right steps to take at the right time.

Choose the package that fits your goals today, and start growing with confidence.
