Thinking of making changes
to your yard but not sure
where to begin?
A consultation can help you to develop a solid vision for your yard, acreage or small farm and can provide you with concrete strategies to help you bring about the changes you would like to see. Prior to our meeting, we will ask you identify the key goals you have for the consultation. We will then spend time together observing your property and exploring possibilities strategies for the changes you would like to see. Consutations may be a single visit of 60-90 minutes, or longer as required.
Consultations may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Site assesments and observations
- Soil observations and soil improvement strategies
- Existing plant identification
- Conversions of lawn or “weedy” areas to productive plantings
- Strategies for enhancing bio-diversity
- Annual vegetable and herb garden planning
- Perennial food systems including orchards and edible forest gardens
- Integration of small livestock into the landscape (bees, chickens, rabbits, goats, etc.)
- Integrated mushroom production
- Hardscape siting and planning
- Rain water harvesting strategies
- Permaculture design planning for your property
- Suitable plant species for existing conditions
- Indentifying and using micro-climates
- Fostering interconnections to the surrounding community and ecology
- Strategies for reducing inputs of time and labour
Where in-person consultations are not possible, we can offer consultations by skype or telephone.
