Eco-Garden Bed

We will help you design a beautiful bed that attracts desired wildlife, manages rainwater, and/or grows large amounts of food.

Grow larger amounts of food with less maintenance than conventional gardens. Food can include vegetables, herbs, fruits, nuts, and berries.
Attract and support preferred birds, butterflies, or other wildlife.
Implement a bed efficiently and correctly so you can enjoy its benefits rather than having to recreate it again later.
Increase the beauty and value of unused or unsightly areas.

We will visit your landscape twice: once to gather information and a second time to review and refine the design.

Initial Visit

An ecological designer visits you at your landscape for approximately 2 hours.
During the first half of the consultation, we walk your landscape with you listening carefully to your goals, vision, ideas, and budget.
A rough layout of the garden bed will be created based upon your preferences and the characteristics of the landscape.
Potential plant species and their characteristics will be presented to help you understand how each plant could benefit you and your garden.

Research

Specific plant varieties will be researched and selected based upon your goals and preferences.
Plants will be researched and placed to create harmonious, beautiful and self-supporting groupings.

Follow Up Visit

The bed will be precisely laid out in the landscape making adjustments based upon your feedback.
The plant selections and placements will be reviewed so you fully understand the rationale behind the design.
The implementation plan will be reviewed and refined.

$350

Garden beds are limited to approximately 150 square feet. Estimates can be provided for larger areas.
