Design Consultation
During the design consultation, our staff will personally come to your yard to "walk through" the process of planning and designing a garden with you. Why? Because the design must harmonize with your personal tastes, architectural setting, and growing conditions.

This initial consultation usually lasts about 1 hour, and the ($75) fee is waved at this time. From this consultation, you will receive a list of appropriate plants, an outline of the proposed design, and an estimate of the installation cost.

Continuous garden care
As an option with gardens we install, continuous garden care by the Cottage Gardener usually consists of twice monthly visits. Of course, our clients are always welcome to call us for help or advice. During the visit, we perform the following maintenance activities as needed:
- Pruning of roses
- Trimming and clipping of plants
- Weeding
- Fertilizing
- Pest control
- Bed maintenance.
We use our own "cottage" blends of fertilizers, and we specialize in organic methods of pest control.
