Garden Consultation Inquiry

1
Every garden has a story. This form helps us understand yours. A Terra Nota garden consultation is a 60-90 minute on-site visit. We'll walk through your space together and talk about sunlight, soil, style, seasonal interest, and your goals. Afterward, you'll receive a personalized guide with a list of recommended plants, spacing and care notes, and seasonal suggestions.

On-site consultation + garden guide: $195

Optional garden layout: starting at $75 and confirmed after consultation

A note before we begin: Terra Nota is a garden consultation service. We do not undertake installation, construction, or ongoing maintenance. Our role is to give you the knowledge and direction to move forward on your own terms and at your own pace.
