Your New Garden Starts Here.
On average,
your produce travels 1,500 miles to get to your dinner table.
We’re here to change that.
We’ll help you bring your “food miles” down with homegrown, organic fruits and vegetables. All of our gardens start with a one-hour consultation, where we learn about your vision, discuss the basics of organic edible gardening, and survey your land.
Once we dream up a vision for your edible landscape together, we can fully install your garden, install part of the garden, or provide you with a customized DIY Garden booklet so you can use our expertise to build the whole garden yourself.
① Book Your Consultation
Once you book your consultation, we’ll set up a meeting as soon as possible to visit your site. We serve all of Franklin County including Columbus and the surrounding suburbs and neighborhoods (Dublin, Worthington, Hillard, Gahanna, Bexley, New Albany, Grove City, etc.)
② Site Visit
The site visit begins with a tour of your landscape and a discussion about your goals and vision for your edible garden. At the site visit, you’ll get:
A Full Site Analysis, including feedback on and examination of soil, sun, potential & suggested garden placement, irrigation opportunities, and more.
A collaborative design session for your foodscape, which can include reviewing ideas for raised beds, in-ground beds, pollinator patches, rain barrels, pathways, trellises, rain gardens, garden structures like greenhouses and sheds, and more. If you’re not sure what you want yet, don’t worry, we bring plenty of images and come with ideas and suggestions!
A follow-up with a clear proposal and estimates for services like garden installations and maintenance.
Any additional materials relevant to the consultation time, like our 15-page planting calendar, local references, favorite nurseries, and other resources
③
Design & Plan
After the consultation, we’ll prepare a clear garden proposal that includes any estimates for installations, DIY Garden guides, garden maintenance, and/or garden coaching.
You can treat this proposal as a menu: ordering what services you’d like and passing on the ones that don’t fit your needs right now.
④ Project Approval & Installation
We know the garden season waits for no one, so once you approve of your Garden Project, we’ll work to deliver your preferred method of installation as soon as possible.
Full Installation: We’ll get started on building your customized raised beds as quickly as possible (for new gardens) and schedule the installation within two to four weeks of your approval. You can expect the installation, from start to finish, to take between 1-4 days, depending on the project.
Garden Kit: We’ll deliver your materials and step-by-step assembly guide as soon as possible and will be available by the hour as your Garden Coach whenever you need assistance with the install.
Customized DIY Guide: Your customized DIY Edible Gardening Guide will be deliver to your inbox within a week of project approval so you can get started on your garden project right away. If at any time you feel overwhelmed, we’re happy to adjust your estimate and offer our services to partially or fully install the garden or offer additional guidance as your Garden Coach.
⑤ Enjoy The Bounty
For full installations, we’ll walk you through the entire garden so you know what’s growing and offer some tips & tricks to ensure a delicious bounty! All Columbus Foodscapes gardens receive exclusive edible gardening resources to ensure gardening success.
We offer our clients several maintenance packages including monthly, quarterly services, and specialty one-time maintenance. Maintenance services allow you to enjoy the light tending and harvests of your edible garden without feeling overwhelmed, and most of our clients enjoy the quarterly service for new compost and plants at the start of each season.
