Design
Full Permaculture Design: The Blueprint
For homesteaders, market growers or if you want a comprehensive roadmap for your property, we can create a detailed design based on permaculture principles, zones and sector analysis. Designs begin with the Initial Consulation. If you decide to purchase a design for your property, the consultation fee is applied to the cost of your design.


Consultations
The Initial Consultation:
Get a clear starting point and understanding of your site. Includes a walk through of your space, assessment of soil, sun, water flow, and existing vegetation, as well an asset inventory of what you have and what you want.
Garden Coaching: Your Partner in the Dirt
For those who want to learn by doing. A garden coach is part designer, part installer, and part cheerleader. We will roll up our sleeves and tackle your project together.
Coaching
Design & Consulting: Grow a Garden That Works for You
Why Grow Your Own?
Food Security: Americans produce only ~4% of our own food. Your yard could be a part of the fourth-largest agricultural land base in the country.
Eat Actual Food: No more mystery ingredients. Grow food you can trust. The organic food our great-grandparents grew was just called "food."
Mental Health: Gardening is "cheap therapy." Soil bacteria boost serotonin, and morning sun reduces cortisol. We charge a third of the price of a therapist, plus you get tomatoes.
How It Works
Reach Out: Fill out our Pre-Consultation Questionnaire (23 questions to help us understand your goals, frustrations, and assets).
Initial Chat: A free 15-minute call to see if we're a good fit.
The Consultation: We meet on-site, walk the land, and start sketching.
The Plan: You get your workbook, sketch, and plant list.
The Action: Whether you hire us for coaching, a full design, or just go it alone with our guidance, you start growing.
Ready to Start?


To make the most of our time together, please fill out the Good Tilth Property Questionnaire before our first meeting. It helps us:
Identify your assets: "I have a west-facing slope," "I have chickens," "I have a water spigot here."
Understand your constraints: ("HOA rules," "Shaded by a large oak," "Drought-prone soil."
Clarify your vision: "I want to feed my family," "I want a pollinator sanctuary," "I need privacy."
Spot opportunities: "Water pools here in the rain."
