In the context of the myriad challenges climate change poses, many of us endeavor to make changes in our own lives which reduce our carbon footprint.  An urban garden has a huge amount of potential in this regard.  I can conduct a detailed consultation, looking at all aspects of your garden and creating a plan with manageable goals to help you to reduce the carbon footprint of your garden.

​

The consultation involves a visit to your garden, taking a detailed inventory of what is already there.  I discuss with you how you use the space at the moment, as well as your aspirations for the space.  I will then compile a report for with recommendations as to how to make your garden more nature-friendly.  The report typically addresses the following:

​

• How to enhance planting to increase carbon sequestration, increase biodiversity and encourage pollinators.

• How to enhance wildlife habitat in your garden.

• How to improve soil health for a more resilient garden and better carbon capture.

• Climate-friendly lawn maintenance.

• Establishing and maintaining a composting system.

• Water-wise gardening.

• Natural control methods for pests and diseases.

• Creating natural fertilisers.

• How to maintain your garden in a climate-friendly manner.

• Where to source sustainable plants, garden products and accessories.

 

 

The consultation is priced according to the size and scale of the garden.  I offer this service for small private gardens, and large organisations.
