We come to you!
Meet with one of our qualified horticulturalists, for an immersive, hands-on gardening experience held right in your own garden. Over 90 minutes we will guide you through the essentials of caring for and nurturing your plants, tailoring the session to your skill level—whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced gardener looking to deepen your knowledge.
During your time together, we will assess the health of your plants and share practical gardening skills such as pruning, planting, and identifying and managing common pests and diseases. With personalised guidance and plenty of time for questions, you’ll feel supported, confident and ready to get the most out of your garden.
To ensure you can continue caring for your garden long after the session ends, you’ll receive a comprehensive written report summarising everything discussed and observed. This becomes your go-to reference for future gardening decisions and ongoing care.
By the end of the experience, you'll walk away with new skills, tailored advice, and a renewed appreciation for your garden—ready to transform it into a thriving, beautiful space.
If our regular booking times don't suit, simply request a private booking with your preferred days and times, and we’ll be in touch to arrange a session.

Recent reviews of Garden Consultation Experience with Qualified Horticulturalist

  • 5/5 from Renee Weeden, attended May 2026: Having established a garden in the last 9 months this service was welcome advice in maintaining it. I highly recommend Melanie for any novice gardener needing guidance that is hard to navigate on the internet. Well worth the money.
  • 5/5 from David Burton, attended May 2025: Melanie is friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic and within the first 20 minutes, I was bursting to go and find a trowel and start preparing one of the garden beds. She gave me many tips and ideas and I am looking forwarding to reading her report so that I can get a sense of what to do for the whole area. A very worthwhile exercise and I hope I can continue to utilise her company’s expertise. I would definitely recommend Garden Nerds Australia.
  • 5/5 from Lana Malbroukou, attended Feb 2025: It was great, she was very knowledgeable, and she covered areas of the garden that I didn't even think about.
  • 5/5 from Frederick Spitsin, attended Aug 2024: Great experience with Melanie. Walked through my garden providing tips and gardening ideas. She tested the soil and talked about wet and dry spots. Now just waiting for the report

Back in 2017, Mel - our Horticulturalist and Senior Garden Nerd - decided that with a few tools, a car and a dream, she would start her own business sharing her love of all things gardening. With an extensive history in client care across numerous industries and the energy of some kind of nature loving dynamo, Mel has since built an extensive client base, employed dozens of people and is currently embarking on her Masters of Urban Horticulture at Melbourne Uni. Mel & the 'Nerd Team' are now excited to be offering one-on-one garden consultations, design consultations and group gardening lessons to the community.
