Garden Coaching & Planning in Northeast Ohio
-
One-on-One Consultations
Every garden starts with a conversation. During your on-site consultation, we’ll walk your space, talk through your goals, and begin designing a kitchen garden that fits your property, lifestyle, and budget.
Consultations are $150, with an additional travel fee when applicable. Start by completing our garden request form. Once reviewed, you’ll receive a consultation proposal to approve before we schedule your visit.
After your consultation, I’ll create a detailed sketch of your garden with practical recommendations tailored to your space.

Turnkey Kitchen Garden Installations
Dreaming of a finished kitchen garden without taking on the build yourself? Root offers custom raised bed and edible garden installations designed around your space, goals, and lifestyle.
Every installation begins with an on-site consultation. From there, I’ll create your garden plan and prepare a custom installation proposal with everything needed to bring it to life, from beds and soil to garden floor substrate, trellises, planting, and finishing details.
Interested in an installation? Start with our garden request form and tell me what you have in mind.

Monthly Coaching
Gardening isn’t a set-it-and-forget-it deal. Whether you’re growing herbs or planning a veggie wonderland, you might need some ongoing support. With monthly coaching, I’ll pop in to see how things are sprouting, help troubleshoot any plant drama (pests, weather damage, etc.), and make sure you’re on track for a bountiful harvest.
In-person or virtual check-ins will provide you with seasonal tips and maintenance reminders, including any necessary plant or seed replacements, soil amendments, or pest-control products. I am also here for quick text/email support between visits for emergency questions
