On-site consultation with a qualified horticulturist



45 mins Location Comes to you Experience size 1 to 4 guests   $450 - $650 ($450 for Weekdays and Saturdays; $650 for Sundays) (Afterpay available)

Do you have a garden idea in mind but don’t know where to start? Are you feeling overwhelmed by your garden and don't know where to begin? Wondering why those plants refuse to thrive, or why the soil is so dry?
Do you want to create a pollinator garden, a veggie patch, enhance your kerbside appeal or build a native oasis?
This 45-minute to 1.5-hour-long consultation provides a comprehensive on-site visit with Celine. As a qualified horticulturist and featured contributor at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, we'll evaluate your garden and help you understand exactly what it needs to thrive.
During our visit, we will also evaluate your space, walk you through the fundamentals of nurturing your garden and share practical advice on how you can move forward with confidence and strengthen your knowledge.
As part of the package, you'll receive a comprehensive report, which details the next steps forward in your gardening journey.
We'll assess and consider factors like soil type, sunlight exposure and aspect, existing plants, and overall health of the landscape.
The type of service is tailored to your needs, the site specifics and your level of expertise, and can include subjects like:
  • Plant Health Diagnosis: Identification of specific plant diseases, pests, or nutrient deficiencies, with a detailed report of recommended treatments and preventative measures.
  • Drought-Tolerant Garden Planning: Consultation focused on selecting and arranging plants that require minimal water, ideal for sustainable gardening in areas with water restrictions or arid climates.
  • Vegetable Garden Coaching: Guidance on starting and maintaining a productive vegetable garden, covering topics like crop rotation, companion planting, and organic pest control.
  • Landscape Renovation and Refresh: Advice on transforming an existing garden, which may involve recommendations for new plantings, removing overgrown elements, and suggesting ways to improve kerb appeal, installing edging, paving or pathways.
  • Soil Testing and Analysis: A service that includes taking soil samples and sending them to a lab for analysis, followed by an interpretation of the results and a plan for soil improvement.
  • Tree and Shrub Care Planning: Expert recommendations for the proper pruning, feeding, and care of trees and shrubs to ensure their long-term health and structural integrity.
  • General garden improvement and maintenance advice to support your garden into the future.
We'll have a chat, ask questions and get into the fundamentals of your garden and your needs. No prior skills or gardening experience needed; all you need is your curiosity!

  • 45 minutes to 1.5 hours on-site, personalised garden consultation

Welcome to WILD ROOTS garden care, an independent, queer, woman-led garden consultation business. I’m Celine, an artist-turned-horticulturist and garden designer currently working and living in Naarm (Melbourne).
I majored in Sculpture, Performance and Installation at the University of New South Wales, College of Fine Arts, where I completed my Fine Arts degree with Honours in 2012. After 10 years as an artist and curator, I career pivoted and decided to become a full-time gardener and garden designer. In 2022 I graduated from TAFE NSW Ryde College with my certification in Urban Horticulture. I relocated to Naarm in 2023 and I’m looking forward to working with you on your next garden design project!
