Garden Consultation & Coaching

Expert guidance to help you create a thriving, resilient garden—wherever you are on the island.

From the wet rainforests of Hilo to the dry coastal lava fields of Kona, every garden on Hawai‘i Island is shaped by its unique climate zone. Our consultation and coaching services give you the clarity and support to design a landscape that feels beautiful, reflects your vision, and flourishes naturally in your environment.

Who Is This For?

Our Garden Consultation & Coaching services are designed for anyone who wants to create a vibrant, resilient landscape with expert guidance and thoughtful planning. You might be:

A homeowner who loves the idea of gardening but feels overwhelmed about where to start, what to plant, or how to design a cohesive look.

A vacation rental owner who wants to boost curb appeal, attract more guests, and create low-maintenance gardens that look beautiful year-round.

A property manager or business owner looking to enhance outdoor spaces in a way that feels welcoming, professional, and easy to care for.

A passionate DIY gardener who enjoys hands-on work but wants professional advice to avoid costly mistakes and make the most of your space.

Someone new to Hawai‘i who wants help understanding the island’s diverse climate zones, microclimates, and the best native and non-invasive plants for your location.

Anyone committed to sustainability who wants a garden that conserves water, supports local wildlife, and respects the cultural heritage of the land.

If you care about creating an outdoor space that feels personal, purposeful, and in harmony with Hawai‘i’s unique environment, you’re in the right place.
