Online & In-person
Garden Consultations

Sometimes you don’t need a complete garden design plan — you just need someone who knows gardens to help you work out what to do next.

Perhaps you have a planting area that never seems to thrive, a garden that feels awkward or unfinished, or you simply don’t know which plants would work best in a particular space.

That’s where a Mindful Gardens consultation can help.

Offering both online and in-person garden design consultations, I can provide professional, practical advice tailored to your garden, your needs and your budget.

 

What can we discuss?​

Your consultation can focus on whatever you need help with, including:

• Planting advice – choosing plants that suit your soil, light levels, aspect and style.

• Plants that are struggling – understanding why plants are failing and what you can do differently.

• Making the most of your space – ideas for awkward, unused or uninspiring areas.

• Garden style and ideas – finding a direction for your garden and creating a more cohesive look.

• Planting combinations – ideas for colours, textures, seasonal interest and structure.

• Low-maintenance planting – choosing plants that can give you impact without demanding constant attention.

• Right plant, right place – understanding what will thrive in different parts of your garden.

• Improving existing planting – advice on what to keep, move, remove or add.

• Hard landscaping ideas – guidance on patios, paths, borders, seating areas and how different elements could work together.

• Problem areas – solutions for shady corners, exposed areas, narrow spaces, difficult ground or other challenging parts of your garden.

 

Online Garden Consultations

Not based nearby? No problem.

 

An online consultation allows us to discuss your garden from wherever you are. You can share photographs, videos, measurements and plans of your space before or during the consultation, allowing me to understand the garden and provide tailored advice.

This is ideal if you have a specific question or several smaller issues you would like professional guidance on.

 

In-Person Garden Consultations

For clients in my local service area, an in-person consultation allows me to see your garden first-hand.

 

Being able to walk through the space, assess the conditions and discuss your ideas with you can often reveal simple opportunities and solutions that aren't always obvious from photographs.

We can look at your existing planting, discuss problem areas, consider how you use the garden and explore practical ideas for moving your garden forward.

 

Professional advice, tailored to you

Every garden is different, and there isn't always a one-size-fits-all solution.

 

As a qualified garden designer, horticulturist and wellness and sensory specialist, I can combine practical horticultural knowledge with garden design expertise to help you make informed decisions about your space.

Whether you need help choosing the right plants, solving a particular problem or simply need a fresh pair of eyes, a consultation gives you the opportunity to get professional advice without committing to a full garden design package.

 

Perfect for smaller projects and individual questions

A consultation could be right for you if:

You have a garden problem you can't solve. Your plants aren't thriving, a border isn't working or you're unsure what is going wrong.

You have a blank space but don't know where to start. Get ideas and direction before investing in materials, plants or landscaping.

You have ideas but need confirmation. Talk through your plans with a professional before you start.

You want to improve your garden gradually. Get advice on what to tackle first and how to make changes over time.

You don't need a full garden design. Sometimes a conversation and some expert guidance is all you need.

 

Let's talk about your garden

You don't need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. Bring your questions, ideas or problems, and we'll work through them together.

 

Book an online or in-person garden consultation and get the professional advice you need to move your garden forward.
