What is the consultation process?

STEP 01

Our initial step involves understanding your goals, level of experience, and vision for your garden.

You will be provided with a questionnaire, along with details about the site visit, and valuable tips to make the most of our time together.

STEP 02

The next step comprises of a one-hour site visit to evaluate your current situation and analyse your garden for potential growth opportunities.

During this visit, I will provide you with my expert advice, recommendations, and solutions to help you overcome challenges and improve your processes.

We will utilise this time to develop personalised strategies and a practical action plan for you to implement into your gardening routine.

STEP 03

Once the site visit is complete, the final step involves consolidating all of the notes made during the visit into a detailed summary of each discussed topic.

This summary will be used to create your customised garden design, seasonal garden plan, and a month-by-month action plan to keep you on track in your garden.

Using her heritage seedlings, I now have a garden that is healthy and providing me with a bountiful harvest. With her natural teaching techniques, I gained confidence and learnt new skills to grow food for my family and local community. In all areas of growing, from the heritage seeds through to the entirety of the garden, Jemma stands by her truth for the health and wellbeing of our planet.”

  • "Jemma did an awesome job of coming to our property and sharing her knowledge and valuable advice. I definitely recommend others to get a garden consult with Jemma. It's something I think everyone could do multiple times a year to get guidance based on the upcoming season that's specific to the quality of the soil and the crops the gardeners want to plant."
