The Home Garden
Garden Consultancy

A second pair of eyes for your garden.

One-on-one advice for home gardeners — from planning a new vegetable patch to working out why last season's crop struggled. Practical, organic and tailored to your space.

On-site & remote consultations

Every garden is different — your soil, your climate, your sun and your time all shape what will work. A consultation gives you a clear, personalised plan so you can spend less time guessing and more time harvesting.

Who It's For

Consultations suit anyone who wants practical, honest advice about their garden — new gardeners wanting a confident start, busy people who want a low-maintenance system, and experienced growers stuck on a stubborn problem.

Whether you have a single raised bed or a whole backyard, we'll focus on what's realistic for your space, budget and the time you actually have to spend in the garden.

How It Works

Simple and no-pressure
1. Tell us about your garden
2. Book a time
3. Visit or video call
4. Receive your written plan

What to Expect

For an on-site visit, we'll walk the garden together, look at sun patterns, drainage, soil and existing plants, and talk through your goals. For remote consultations, we'll work from photos, a short questionnaire and a video call.

Afterwards you'll receive a written summary with clear, prioritised recommendations — what to do now, what can wait for next season, and where to find more detail in our growing guides.

Common Questions

How long does a consultation take?

Most on-site visits take around one to two hours, and remote calls about an hour. Larger or more complex gardens may need longer.

Do you offer follow-up support?

Yes — a short follow-up by email is included so you can ask questions once you start putting the plan into action. Further sessions can be booked as needed.

Do you do the work for me?

Consultancy is advice and planning only. We'll give you the plan and the know-how so you can do the work yourself, or brief a landscaper if you'd rather.
