Garden Design Services
We have the know how. You have the garden!
- If you have a newly prepared garden bed or an existing garden with some room for new plants.
- If you know you want native species in your garden and you would like some help with your plant choices.
- If you have a vision for your native plant garden, perhaps a garden for pollinators, rain, drought or shade, and you need a little help making it a reality...
We will work with you to design your native plant garden. Refer to our Services page to find a business to hire to install your design. Choose from one of our 3 design options below!
A one hour consultation at our nursery with our garden designer.
You:
- bring your garden dimensions and pictures and thoughts about the garden of your dreams.
- are encouraged to document our discussion.
We:
- ask questions so we can understand the characteristics of your garden (e.g., moisture, light and soil conditions, location of buildings, trees and fencing).
- ask you about your vision for your garden, your preferences (e.g., what colour of flowers do you like best) and your desired budget.
- discuss how you could prepare your garden bed and what soil amendments to use.
- discuss which native plants species would work well and suggest how many of each and where they could be placed.
All the items listed in Option 1, plus:
- in either your front or back yard, a garden up to 800 square feet in area.
- a design sketch of your garden, based on your measurements and photos, showing plant placement and any features, like paths, fountains or rain gardens, discussed in the consultation.
- an itemised plant list indicating quantities, as well as some brief notes describing the design.
- digital files by email in PDF and JPEG format, which you can then easily print.
Katherine, your designs are stunning on paper and in practice. Thanks for bringing so much beauty to the world! Karen, thanks for growing such fabulous plants! My brother and I have extended the native plant garden to the north side of his house now, with the same beautiful plant combinations.
Matt
We mirror thanks to Karen and Katherine and add thanks to Matt and Sean. At risk of appearing melodramatic, the overall effect is dazzling!
Bill
For a more detailed design with greater accuracy, we recommend a consultation together with a site visit, the price of which will be determined by the location, the size and complexity of the project, and the printing required.
We are happy to provide detailed Design Proposals which could include logistics, materials and site preparation or Design Presentations, should they be required. We oversee and direct installations of all kinds.
Testimonials
We had a wonderful experience with Katherine and with Native Plants of Claremont in completing our native plant garden. We would have over 450 plants and Katherine shared her wealth of design, plant and planting knowledge to make it all happen.
— Dennis Boyes, Hopewell Community Garden
It's that time of year where I think of the amazing people at Native Plants in Claremont as I enjoy all of the thriving growth and blooms. From May to November, this is the garden that just keeps giving. So much is in bloom, with much more to come over the next few months. And the pollinators! I saw over 6 species of butterflies in the length of time it took me to enjoy a cup of coffee this morning. That Wild Bergamot literally hums and vibrates it is just filled with so much activity.
