You know you want to grow food but sometimes you don't even know where to start or what questions to ask. Luckily, we ask a lot of questions and take a lot of notes!  We're creating an extension of your home, after all, and we take that very seriously.  This is the place you will raise your babies, invite your friends over for a glass of wine and a girls' night, entertain your grandkids after school and the spot you'll run out to barefoot for a quick bunch of cilantro.  Don't we always need that one missing bunch of herbs for dinner?!   Questions we might ask during your consult are: * What does your every day-to-day look like? Do you work 60 hours a week or are you chasing 4 kids around and home schooling?   * What does your dream garden look like?  Show me that account you've been eyeing on Interest or Pinterest.  If you can pin it, we can build it. * Do we need a fence to keep out interested friends like deer, our beloved puppy dogs, or rabbits? * Do you have a favorite color or flower?  We want you to feel JOY when you walk into your new outdoor living room!  I may love yellow but if you cringe at the thought of it or have a bad history with zinnias, I need to know that!  During your initial one-on-one consult, we will: * Look at the layout of your home and help you find the sunniest spot!  You can certainly grow lower-maintenance things like leafy greens, lettuces and herbs in areas that get some shade but for a highly-productive veggie garden, sun = success so this is mucho important!   * Identify the best way to get water to your garden.  A well-watered garden is a happy garden!  * Take measurements for your raised beds and decide on the type of materials we will use.  We build our custom cedar beds in-house.  We also have worked with companies who offer modular metal beds which is a great option!  * Lastly, we'll talk about the foods you want to grow!  Don't waste your time growing 857 eggplants if you don't like them!   After your consult, you will receive: * A customized garden design and itemized estimate for your turnkey garden.  Consults are necessary because price varies greatly depending on materials and labor, but our turnkey gardens typically start around $4000.  * You are more than welcome to DIY any part of your garden.  Sidenote: It is very common for us to get an SOS phone call when people realize how (NOT) easy it is to wheelbarrow pea gravel! * A post-consult document chocked full of free resources, links, and helpful information like what to plant and when, organic pest and disease control, and our favorite products.
