Your garden is alive — and every season brings new growth, surprises, and lessons. A Fairnilee walkthrough is a relaxed, educational visit where we tour your space together, talk about what’s working, and identify what your garden needs to thrive.

What Happens During a Walkthrough

A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.
— Liberty Hyde Bailey

When to Schedule

Walkthroughs are available seasonally throughout the year. Spring and fall are ideal for planning new plantings, while summer visits help keep young gardens strong through heat and drought.

After your walkthrough, you’ll receive a short summary of Lydia’s recommendations and a custom quote for ongoing care if desired. We look forward to helping your garden flourish for years to come.
