Organic garden design for Westborough yards.
Design, install, and seasonal care. Native plants that survive a New England winter, real soil work, and no sprays. Ever.
Design consults are $175 and come off your install. Serving Westborough and the towns around it.
Three ways to work together
Start with a consult. Most people go on to an install; some just want the plan.
Design consult
$175
About an hour at your place. You get a digital concept drawn on a photo of your own yard, plus a plant list, within a week.
- Sun, soil, and drainage check
- Concept render and plant list
- Credited to your install
Design and install
From $1,500
We prep the bed, amend the soil with compost, plant, mulch, and clean up. You get a care sheet for the first season.
- Native and native-adapted plants
- Itemized estimate before any work
- One-season plant guarantee
Seasonal care
Four visits
Spring cutback and mulch, two summer visits for weeding and deadheading, and a fall visit that leaves the leaves where the bees want them.
- April, June, August, October
- Bulb planting in fall
- Book all four and save
How it works
Send photos
Fill out the short form below with a few photos of the space and a rough budget. We reply within two business days.
Consult
Alicia visits, measures, checks sun and soil, and asks what you want to see out the kitchen window.
Concept and estimate
Within a week you get a render on your own yard photo, a plant list, and an itemized price. Nothing is built until you say yes.
Install
Usually one or two days on-site. Dig Safe is called first, every time. You get a watering and care sheet when we leave.
Why organic
Everything we install is organic. No synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. We build soil with compost, control weeds with mulch, and pick plants that already want to live in zone 5b/6a, so they don't need rescuing every July.
It's better for kids and dogs on the lawn, for the bees and birds passing through, and for the water table under Westborough. It also means fewer dead plants, because natives are used to our winters.
Where we work
Westborough is home. We take jobs within about fifteen minutes of it.

Hi, I'm Alicia.
[Two or three sentences in Alicia's voice: how she got into gardening, what she loves about designing for New England yards, and one specific thing she believes about plants or soil. Example: I started because the front bed at my first apartment was a strip of dead mulch and I couldn't stand looking at it. Eight years later I'm still the person who stops on walks to look at other people's beds.]
[One sentence on the organic stance, in her words.]

Tell us about your yard
Photos help more than anything, so grab a few before you start. We read every one of these and reply within two business days.
Questions people ask
Do you mow, or do lawn treatments?
No. We design and plant beds and take care of them. If you want lawn work, we're happy to recommend someone.
Do you spray for weeds or bugs?
No, and we won't, even if asked. Mulch, compost, and the right plants do most of that work. For anything beyond that, we'll tell you what we'd do by hand.
Do you do patios, walls, or drainage?
Not hardscape or grading. If your project needs it, we'll design around it and point you to someone who does that well.
What if a plant dies?
Perennials and shrubs that fail in the first growing season get replaced once, as long as the watering instructions were followed. Annuals and bulbs aren't covered.
Is the consult fee refundable?
It comes off your install if you book within 30 days. If you just want the plan and plant list, the $175 is the price of the plan.
