Service 05 — Expert advice, no commitment

Garden Consultancy

Not every garden needs ongoing care or a full redesign — sometimes you just need a straight answer from someone who knows what they're looking at. A single on-site visit, a proper look at what's going on, and a written plan you can act on yourself, hand to a gardener, or bring to us later.

What you get

One visit, one clear plan

On-site visit

Around 90 minutes, walking the whole garden with you — no rushing, no generic checklist.

Diagnosis

Plant ID, pest and disease problems, soil issues, why that corner never thrives — whatever's actually bothering you.

Written action plan

A short, prioritised report sent after the visit — what to do, in what order, and roughly when.

Plant selection & sourcing

Advice on what to plant and where to get it — including native plant guidance for a garden that fits its surroundings.

Is this right for you?

Consultancy vs. our other services

The quick version: Consultancy is advice only. If you want Emelye to actually do the work with you, one of these is probably a better fit.

Want to learn hands-on?

Go for The Potting Shed Sessions — a Consultancy visit is diagnosis and advice, not a lesson.

Want a full design & planting plan?

Garden Design & Planning covers layout and planting plans for a full garden, not just a problem-solving visit.

Want ongoing hands-off care?

Organic Garden Maintenance is regular visits where we do the work for you.
