FAQ
-
Do I need any gardening experience in order to get started?
Absolutely not. All of my services are geared to the beginner gardener. You don’t need to have any prior gardening experience or knowledge.
-
Do I have the right space for a backyard garden? What kind of space will I need?
Ideally, you will need a 10’ x 6’ (60 square ft) area that gets at least 8 hours of sunlight per day during the summer months.
We can work with smaller spaces as well! If you have 16 square feet of space (4’x4’) we can make a small garden work! (As long as it gets 8+ hours of sunlight a day.)

I am not sure which service is right for me
If you love DIY and are good at following directions and executing projects without hands on support, the Garden Guide is for you. If you would like assistance every step of the way, the Complete Garden Guide is for you.
If you are still not sure, you can always reach out to me with your questions and we will discuss what service suits you best.

How much time to I need to spend on my garden?
Be ready to spend about 2 hours a week gardening. This can work out to 15 minutes a day, 30 minutes every other day, or 1 hour twice a week. Of course, you can always spend more time in and around your garden and I believe the more time and energy you invest in your garden, the better you and your garden will feel!
-
How much will starting a garden cost?
In addition to my services, you can expect to spend about $800-$1000 for your initial garden setup. This includes garden beds, fencing, soil, tools, supplies, plants and seeds.
This investment is only for the first year. Once this investment is made, your garden space will be ready to use for many years to come.
-
Will you be available to answer questions after my garden is set up?
Of course! My Garden Guide service and Complete Garden Guide service offer ongoing support via text message/whatsapp throughout the growing season. You will also have the option to schedule a maintenance visit during the growing season for an additional fee, if you are looking for more hands on support.
