*A Note on Garden Guidance

Garden Guidance is intended to supplement the care of your landscape through professional guidance, observation, and education. It is not intended to replace on-site consultations, design services, or landscape stewardship visits.

Consultations are scheduled in advance and are intended to provide thoughtful, structured guidance rather than on-demand support.

Clients seeking hands-on instruction may benefit from Learn the Aesthetics. Clients requiring property assessments, landscape design, or long-term planning may benefit from a Walk & Talk Consultation.

Learn the Aesthetics

For those who wish to develop a deeper understanding of their landscape, Learn the Aesthetics offers personalized, on-site horticultural instruction tailored to your property.

Working together in the garden, we explore the principles behind plant care, pruning, seasonal maintenance, plant identification, and ecological stewardship. Rather than simply caring for the landscape for you, our goal is to help you gain the confidence and knowledge to become an active participant in its care.

Learn the Aesthetics is ideal for homeowners who enjoy working in their gardens and wish to better understand the living landscape around them.

Single Lesson | $195

Focused instruction centered around a specific topic, plant, garden space, or horticultural skill. Ideal for clients seeking guidance on a particular challenge or area of interest.

Stewardship Intensive | Starting at $395

An immersive, property-wide educational experience designed for those wishing to develop a deeper understanding of their landscape. Together, we explore the property's unique conditions, plant communities, maintenance priorities, and long-term stewardship strategies through hands-on learning and discussion.

Garden Companion

Created for adults aged 70 and older who wish to remain active, spend time outdoors, and stay connected to the landscapes they love. Garden Companion offers a flexible stewardship experience centered around participation, encouragement, learning, and shared time in the garden.

Whether working side by side, learning new skills through hands-on mentorship, or simply enjoying the company of a fellow gardener, these visits are designed to help clients remain engaged with the natural world while receiving the support they need. Together, we may develop seasonal priorities, discuss plant care, make observations, tackle manageable tasks, or simply spend time tending the landscape at a comfortable pace.

Some days Earth Aesthetics may focus on specialized horticultural work while clients participate in lighter tasks nearby. Other days may be spent learning, planning, and gardening together. No prior gardening experience is required—each visit is tailored to the individual's interests, abilities, and goals.

Visits are customized and limited to a maximum of three hours.

Because a garden should remain an affordable source of purpose, curiosity, and joy throughout every stage of life. Inquire for more information.

Inspired by Ms. Kathy, a longtime gardener who reminded us that tending a garden is about far more than maintaining plants.

Host a workshop

Bring the Earth Aesthetics experience to your garden, neighborhood, garden club, workplace, or event.

Our workshops offer engaging, hands-on learning opportunities tailored to the interests of your group. Topics may include pruning, proper flower cutting to keep the Aesthetics, container design and planting, and other horticultural subjects designed to help participants better understand and care for the landscapes around them.

Whether gathering a few friends or hosting a larger community event, we create approachable educational experiences rooted in observation, stewardship, and a deeper appreciation for the living landscape.

The Earth Aesthetics Way

COMING SOON

More than a maintenance guide, The Earth Aesthetics Way is a reflection of the philosophy, observations, and practices that shape our approach to landscape stewardship.

Drawing from years of experience working with gardens through every season, this ongoing publication explores the relationships between plants, people, and place—offering practical guidance, thoughtful insights, and a deeper understanding of what it means to care for a landscape in harmony with nature.

Whether used as a reference, a source of inspiration, or a companion to your own gardening journey, The Earth Aesthetics Way invites readers to see the landscape not as something to control, but as something to understand, cultivate, and steward.
