New plans in the works for the pollinator garden at the Sandhills Children’s Garden. Stay tuned for the finalized plans coming soon.

I always start my plans by sketching over pictures taken in the design space before starting the garden blueprints. This way it’s easier for me and clients to visualize what the garden will actually look like on the ground because most of us aren’t viewing the garden from an aerial view… unless you happen to be a bird 🐦.

Note: These images are a rough draft for visualization purposes and are not to scale. Adjustments may occur as the plans are scaled and finalized.

The Sandhills Children’s Garden is free to visit and fun for all ages. Checkout their page below for details.

Another Pollinator Friendly Design

This design is for a client we had previously done a consultation for a few posts back. A few things have been changed from the consultation vision but the overall vision remains.

This property is marsh front in Charleston, SC with lots and lots of sun! We’ve dedicated the front yard to tons of native sun loving perennials that pollinators love , planned a Fruit Tree Alley for the side of the house, dedicated a space for a chicken coop that can hold 20 chickens, a patio for entertainment (and future home to a Cobb oven) and plenty of other beautiful plants to spice things up.

Check out our services at greenworldgardendesign.com to bring all the pollinators to your yard too.

Another Day, Another Nature Friendly Yard

My most recent design for clients here in the Midlands. This yard is quite large (total designed area is around 23,700 sqft). They currently have some established shrubs around the home’s foundation, chickens, blueberries and very heavy clay soil which has led to some drainage issues and bogginess.
The clients specific requests were:
•Lots of fruit trees (specifically pomegranate, pears and citrus)
•A vegetable garden
•Cottage/Prairie vibes
•Lots of pink, purple and no yellow

Have clay soil? Have no fear! Most of the natives I have selected are tolerant of clay soil and occasional bogginess but may still require some soil amendment with compost and/or gypsum. With time, the addition of organic matter and more roots in the soil will naturally improve the quality of clay soil.

A Quick Backyard Tour

I just moved to this house last February and here is what I’ve done so far. There were no beds when I moved in, just a couple azaleas, two small hostas, a sago and a struggling gardenia which has since been removed. I have a serious lack of topsoil and grass/ground-cover which is most likely due to erosion overtime from water and human traffic, my yard has a slight slope. I also suspect that previous residents removed organic matter like fallen leaves and did not mulch which contributes to the lack of topsoil soil.

Since moving in I have built the chicken coop, the two raised beds (I will add 2-4 more in the summer), and I’ve created some perennial beds with plants! I added chicken manure and bedding to all my perennial beds, dressed with mulch that I got for free from ChipDrop, and allowed the leaves from my established trees to drop right into them.

My backyard is pretty small so I won’t add too many more shrubs but I will finish filling out the beds with perennials in the spring. The yard overall has a very boxy feel walking in it which is not helped by the larger wooden fence surrounding you on all sides. To change this I’ve done all my beds with organic, curved shapes and I have layered in different evergreen shrubs along the fence which distracts the eye from the harsh border. In narrower areas, I will eventually add evergreen vines or even tall grasses to distract from the fence.

I have tried to reuse and source on site as much material as possible. I use my own compost and chicken manure as fertilizer. I keep all organic material. Large branches and sticks are used as borders for beds, smaller or harder to trim sticks are tossed into a brush pile that provides habitat for wildlife but is kept out of view. The smallest, fine bits of organic matter like grass clippings I add into my compost pile. And of course, I always leave the leaves. In my backyard where there is very little grass to worry about I gently rake some of leaves that are piling up too thick into my garden beds but otherwise I leave them where they are to break down.

Sketches from a recent consultation. This client used the consultation service to get visuals on a front yard that is sure to stop traffic.

The goals for this client were to create a space that doesn’t interrupt the wildness of the marsh that surrounds it, while also adding lots of flowers, color, and of course…palms (this is coast after all).

Consultations are a wonderful way to get started in the garden of your dreams without committing to a plan for the entire yard. And the experience is totally customizable. From creating visuals as shown above, to solving garden problems like why won’t my veggies grow? Our time is yours for all your garden dilemmas when you book a consultation.

Consultations start at a minimum of $100 for 90 minutes. Additional time will be charged at a rate of $60 per hour.
