Questions and Answers
Can you help me start a vegetable garden if I'm a complete beginner in Portland?
Absolutely. We specialize in guiding new gardeners through the entire process. Starting with an initial consultation, we'll assess your space and discuss your goals. Our most popular service for beginners is designing and installing custom raised garden beds, which are ideal for our local soil conditions. We then create a seasonal planting plan tailored to Portland's climate and your taste preferences, and offer ongoing maintenance and one-on-one mentorship to build your confidence and skills season by season.
My lawn has patchy grass and damaged edging from winter. Can you help with this?
While our primary focus is on edible gardens, we can address these issues as part of creating a healthy foundation for your food-growing space. We can repair or redesign landscape edging to better define and protect your garden beds from lawn encroachment. For patchy grass, we often recommend converting those struggling lawn areas into productive edible landscapes or pollinator-friendly perennial borders, which are more resilient and rewarding than maintaining a high-water-use lawn in our climate.
Do you offer care for existing fruit trees and shrubs?
Yes, we provide comprehensive care for existing edible shrubs and fruit trees, a specialty of our founder Ian Wilson. Our services include seasonal pruning for health and productivity, organic disease and insect management, fertilization, and even transplanting if a tree isn't thriving in its current location. We apply principles from Ian's advanced training in ecological horticulture to ensure your perennial food plants are vibrant and productive for years to come.
