Garden Consulting for Home Gardeners


At Bestside Blooms, I help home gardeners grow successful, sustainable gardens through thoughtful consulting and custom planting plans. Every project considers your goals, site conditions, and seasonal needs, so you can enjoy a garden that works for you.

  • In‑person & virtual consults

  • Clear next steps and planning tools

  • Visual plans and follow‑up guidance

  • Practical support, not installation

Together, you and I make a plan to help you feel confident and capable in your own space. No overwhelm or pressure to do more than fits your life. Let’s create a garden space that brings you joy!

Not ready for a consult?
I also write a weekly newsletter called The Best Side of Things, a casual note written like we’re catching up over coffee. I share my thoughts on gardening, community, and what it means to build a life surrounded by good people doing good things.

Looking for fresh local flowers?
CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) flower subscriptions and DIY Flower Buckets are now available directly through Kind Hearts Bloom - and 100% of those funds go to the nonprofit to support its mission.
