Give her a garden plan for 2027

An In-garden Consultation at her own yard, good all of next year.


She has a stack of seed catalogs, a raised bed she keeps meaning to start, and a calendar with no room in it. What she needs is someone to walk her yard with her and say, here is where to begin.

This gift is that walk. It is one visit to her garden in Nevada County and a clear plan she can use right away.

What she gets

  • A short Garden Chat by phone to get acquainted and talk about what she wants to grow

  • One hour long In-garden Consultation with Coach Ellie at her home,

  • A clear plan for her space, built around her yard, her soil and her schedule

  • Until December 31, 2027 to use it, so she can book when the season suits her

How it works

  • Fill out the short form and pay $197.

  • Your certificate arrives by email within one business day, ready to print, wrap or forward.

  • After Christmas, she gets a warm note from me with a link to book her Garden Chat.

Price note

$197 is the 2026 price. Consultation prices go up in 2027, and every certificate is honored at the price you pay today.
