Our Approach
How We Tend a Garden
We walk the garden with you, write up a plan, then tend it through the year.
To begin
Walk the Garden Together
We meet on site, listen, look, and learn the rhythm of the space: the light, the soil, what's already thriving.
Then
A Written Plan
A simple, written proposal: what we'll do, when, the materials, the cost.
From then on
Tend, Season by Season
We do the work with care, and quietly adjust as the garden settles and changes.
Where We Work
We cover the towns below and the neighborhoods around them. Not sure if we reach you? Just ask, we're flexible.
Areas We Cover

From Garden Owners
A few words from the gardens we tend.
They turned our tired front lawn into something soft and green without a single harsh spray. The shade bed under the maple is finally thriving.

★★★★★
Our back border was a tangle. They pruned, mulched, and tucked in native plants, and now it blooms in waves from spring through fall.
Theo R.
★★★★★
Reliable, gentle, and they clearly love plants. Our garden has never looked this full, and the bees have moved in for good.

Questions
Good Things to Ask
We get these a lot. If your question isn't here, just send a note and we'll write back.
No. 01
How often do you come?
Most gardens get a visit every two weeks from spring to fall and once a month in winter. We suggest a schedule after the first garden walk.
No. 02
What happens to the prunings?
We take them away for composting, unless you'd rather keep them for your own pile.
No. 03
Can you plant a shady bed?
Yes. Ferns, hostas and woodland perennials do well under maples and firs, and we plan the bed around the light it actually gets.
No. 04
Do I need to be home?
No. Leave the side gate unlocked or send us the code, and we'll text when we're done.
