Designing sanctuaries for the soul

Our gardens are sacred spaces, planted with intention: To hold, to heal, to harvest. Whether you’re here for the aesthetics or the energetics of our sanctuaries, the co-creation process begins with a consultation in your garden, in the Cowichan Valley or online. Let’s sow seeds in soil and soul.

The Seeding Session

Every collaboration begins with a Seeding Session: A 60-minute consultation and assessment of your property. It’s your time to ask me anything about your vision, gardening, or plants. I’ll share my plant knowledge and design insights with you, planting the seeds for what your property could become. And if we decide to work together, I’ll discount the consultation from your custom design quote.

The Soil & Soul Sessions

This is where we get into the weeds together: Soil & Soul Sessions are hands-on, in your garden. I’ll answer all of your questions, but the real magic is in gardening, together: From designing and planting to watering and weeding, I’ll show you how to tend to your own garden, perennially. You’ll build a relationship with the land and confidence in your garden. Inquire for custom coaching packages.

The Sanctuary Plan

When you need a landscape designer, but you value the energetics as much as the aesthetics, The Sanctuary Plan is for you: A custom design package for a conscious garden. Whether you plan to hire a contractor to install or do it yourself, I’ll be there to coach you or liaise with your contractor on Planting Day. Because a professionally designed garden should be inclusive of all budgets.

In-person planter workshops available upon request

Join us for a relaxed and creative in-person workshop where we explore the connection between nature and intention. During this session, you’ll design a custom arrangement using a 14” eco-friendly waxed fiber container—a sustainable base that can stand alone or be easily placed inside a decorative planter of your choice.

Every plant is selected for its unique energetic theme, allowing you to build a living piece that aligns with your personal goals. We’ll guide you through the process of setting your intentions while providing the essential growing requirements and care tips for your chosen greenery, ensuring your new planter thrives long after the workshop.
