Many Ways to Grow

Wild Indigo Gardening offers a variety of services for you and your garden.

  • Consultation

    An initial meeting in person or virtually to discuss how to best use your garden space including perennial flower beds, vegetable and fruit gardens or a focus on native plants. We can conduct a light/shade assessment and soil testing.

  • Coaching

    In person, side-by-side work in your garden. Sighting plants, guided nursery trips, planting, weeding, identifying plant disease, harvesting, etc. The frequency and scheduling of visits depends on how often you want to garden together.

  • Design

    Recommendations based on your goals. This plan includes a plant list and an estimate for turning the design into reality. This process is collaborative, based on your availability/desire to participate in the garden installation.

  • Cook and Preserve

    Growing vegetables and herbs is rewarding! We provide recipes, cooking instructions and demonstrate methods of preservation, such as water bath canning, to make the best of your harvest.
