THE SETUP CONSULTATION

A thoughtful, tailored beginning to a garden that feeds your family—and fits your life.

You’ve imagined it:

Stepping outside to grab herbs for dinner, harvesting baskets of tomatoes in late summer, watching your kids snack straight from the garden.

You don’t want a quick fix.

You want something that lasts, a space that grows food and grows with you.

But right now, all the options feel overwhelming:

Where should the garden go?
What should you grow and when?
How do you make it productive without spending your weekends troubleshooting?

Maybe you’ve tried before.

Bought the plants. Watched them wilt.

Viewed ALL the YouTube guides. Found more questions than answers.

That’s where the Setup Consultation comes in.

It’s the starting point for turning your ideas into a real, functioning kitchen garden—designed around your lifestyle, your space, and your goals. And it’s often the first step clients take before we go on to build, plant, and maintain the garden for them!

Who this is for:

This consultation is designed for people who are ready to grow (with support!).

You’re ready to stop “trying things” and want a strategic approach that works
You want to grow real food and make use of your yard, not just admire it
You’re open to expert support beyond the initial setup so your garden continues to thrive

If you’re looking for a one-and-done checklist or a DIY kit, this probably isn’t the right fit.
(And that’s okay! But our clients usually want more.)

If you’re looking for a full garden transformation that starts with a smart, personalized plan and grows into something abundant, you’re in the right place.

What’s included in the Setup Consultation:

This is a 3-phase process that moves you from uncertainty to clarity:

Site + Lifestyle Walkthrough

We’ll evaluate your space, sun exposure, drainage, and how your garden will function day-to-day in your life.

Garden Design + Layout Plan

You’ll receive a custom layout with bed placement, material recommendations, and crop planning tailored to your location and goals.

Build + Implementation Strategy

We’ll review your build options, materials, and timelines. Most clients move forward with our full-service build, planting, and coaching, but we'll plan accordingly if you choose to phase it out or do parts yourself!

What makes this different?

Most garden consultations give you a sketch and a few plant suggestions and leave you to figure out the rest.

This isn’t that.

The Setup Consultation is designed as the starting point for a comprehensive, supported, and strategic approach to growing your own food, one that doesn’t end at the layout drawing.

→ It’s for people who want more than a weekend project.

→ It’s for people who want their yard to work- to grow food, feed their families, and bring beauty and intention into their daily routines.

You’ll walk away with a detailed garden plan, but more importantly, you’ll be invited into a full-service experience that includes:

Professional installation of raised beds and infrastructure
Seasonal organic plant selections delivered or planted for you
Ongoing coaching and maintenance so you never feel behind, confused, or unsure of what to do next

And it starts right here…

“I tried to educate myself with tools available online, but I found a lot of contradicting advice. Rachael’s background in Biology and Environmental Science gave me confidence that she was pulling from her knowledge base as well as her experience to offer accessible, well-reasoned solutions that took into account both my garden dreams and my environmental reality.”
