Virtual Consultation Waitlist

Sometimes it's difficult to know where to start when it comes to a garden or restoration site! Satinflower Nurseries is here to offer custom virtual consultations to help you create a beautiful space that also contributes to your regions biodiversity and pollinator health.

Virtual Consultations take place over zoom and are quick and easy, they include:

• Site preparation guidance

• Planting density, timing & schedule

• Ongoing maintenance tips

• Customized plant lists

• Advice for your project or property

• Ongoing consultation available

Virtual Consults are $70/hour, which is typically the perfect amount of time to obtain an understanding of your site so we can send appropriate follow-up.  If we need more time we can always schedule another meeting.
