🌿 How It Works

A clear and intentional process ensures your garden receives the attention it deserves.

Working with Gardens by Steph is designed to feel calm, clear, and intentional. Whether you’re seeking design guidance, ongoing care, container styling, or garden coaching, each step is grounded in communication and care.

1. Inquiry

Begin by submitting the inquiry form with details about your space, goals, and desired timing.

This allows me to assess scope and recommend the most appropriate service structure.

2. Consultation

We’ll schedule a brief on-site visit to walk the garden, discuss priorities, and determine the right level of stewardship, restoration, design, or coaching.

Consultations for design or coaching services are billed separately.

3. Service Structure

Services are organized into structured care blocks or clearly defined project scopes to ensure clarity and consistency.

Together, we’ll determine the most appropriate approach for your space.

4. Scheduling & Care

Once aligned, time is reserved in my schedule and work begins.

Monthly care blocks are invoiced at the beginning of each month to secure dedicated time.

Project-based services are invoiced according to scope.

5. Seasonal Adjustment

Gardens evolve with the seasons. Service levels may be adjusted to maintain balance and long-term vitality.

🌿 A Considered Approach

I intentionally limit the number of gardens I serve each season to provide steady oversight and informed decision-making.

This is structured stewardship — not reactive maintenance.
