I want to do my own installation, can I still get a consultation with Pete?"Absolutely! Pete is always happy to come out and help you with your plans, choosing plants, finding the right locations, and recommending soil amendments, and information on care and maintenance.
-
What can I expect to get out of my consultation with Pete?That really depends on you! Before you meet with Pete, we recommend really thinking about how you want to use your property, any must-have plants, and questions you may have and making a list. We also recommend having a notepad during your consultation for jotting down information and making sketches. Generally, during your 1 hour on-site consultation Pete will assess your property (the current conditions of the soil, sunlight and watering needs) and offer suggestions regarding resources & education guides to help you become better acquainted with the various edible/useful plants that grow well in your area. He will offer instructions on mulching, composting, nutrient options/nitrogen fixers and advise on the placement of added elements, such as raised beds, water gardens, hardscapes/paths, perennial vegetables, fruiting & medicinal plants, as well as flowering plants that attract butterflies, bees & other beneficial insects.
-
What should I do to prepare for my consultation?If you are having a design & installation done, you will want to make sure you have a copy of your survey available, either on paper or in digital format. If you have it in digital format, please email it to us prior to your appointment. Make a list of must have plants and ideas for how you would like to use your yard/property. Write down your questions, all of them! It's easy to get overwhelmed during your consultation and forget things. Relax and dream about your days spent in your new garden once it's all done!

What is Bio-Char?Biochar is an ancient practice that converts waste into the #1 long-term soil amendment that we have on this planet. It has the capacity to absorb carbon from the air/atmosphere, secures the food system, and increases biodiversity in the soil. It even has the capability to reverse deforestation. The process of creating Biochar is completed with a fine-grained, highly porous activated charcoal that helps soils retain nutrients and water. Because of it’s porosity, it contains a microscopic infinity of nooks & crannies for organic matter to reside. It is said that a fingernail-sized piece of biochar is able to lock up a ½ acre in surface nutrients. That means that this is a huge deal in just a little tiny pinch!
