Plant Recordkeeping 101

Plant Records Implementation
Set up or improve your plant records system with tailored workflows, best practices, and ongoing support. Whether you’re just starting out or need a fresh, new perspective, I’ll help you build a foundation that fits your garden’s capacity and long-term goals.

Policy & Documentation Development
Clarify your garden’s approach to plant collections. I can help develop or revise your plant records policy, accessions policy, and data management protocols—supporting consistency, transparency, and institutional memory.

Mission & Vision Alignment
A strong plant collection begins with a purpose. I work with gardens to articulate and implement mission-driven collection strategies—whether your focus is education, conservation, aesthetics, or community engagement. We’ll define what matters most to your collection and how to reflect that in both daily practice and long-term planning.

Garden Design & Consultation

Custom Garden Design
Whether you’re starting from scratch or refreshing an existing space, I create planting plans tailored to your aesthetic goals, site conditions, and long-term needs. Designs emphasize biodiversity, seasonal interest, and climate-adapted choices—balancing beauty with ecological function.

Plant Selection Guidance
Not sure what to plant? I provide curated plant lists based on your soil, light, region, and preferences. Whether you’re seeking native species, pollinator powerhouses, or low-maintenance classics, I’ll help you select plants that thrive.

Great design starts with understanding the land. I provide practical observations on grading, drainage, microclimates, and soil health to ensure your garden gets the right start.
