Philosophy
We strive to keep nature in mind while gardening. We feel that a great deal can learnt from the observation of natural ecosystems, and that much time and labour can be saved by maintaining gardens in partnership with, rather than against, the forces of nature.
Services offered
Though our favourite type of gardens are those geared towards food production, we design and maintain a wide variety of landscapes, and are comfortable working in almost any type of garden. The following is a partial list of the services we offer: Planning, planting, pruning, propagation, mulching, weeding, watering, soil amendment, compost production, wit, and charm. Please don't hesitate to contact us with special requests not mentioned above.
We offer a consultation service, tailored to your individual needs. This can involve anything from taking an inventory of plants growing on a property, to describing what, when, and how to prune, to helping answer food growing questions.
We lead unique workshops and seminars on soil fertility, vegetable gardening, mulch, and compost production. We take great pride in our own vegetable gardens, and often use them as a teaching venue. We are always open to new ideas and collaborations - Please don't hesitate to contact us with any proposals.
Services not offered
Lawn care, hedging, pruning above ten feet, and the use of any synthetic chemicals (yes, this includes Miracle Grow).
We charge an hourly rate reflective of the type of work needed, the geographic location of the job, the amount of time required, and the tools and tranport needed. Please don't hesitate to contact us for more information.
