In a Garden Direction Session, we’ll walk through your garden (or review photos virtually) and talk through layout ideas, plant choices, seasonal timing, and maintenance considerations. You’ll get clear guidance and a follow-up email with next steps.

In a Custom Planting Guide, you’ll also receive a visual planting plan in Canva showing suggested plant placement, quantities, sun/water notes, and seasonal priorities.

Yes! Consultations are available in-person in the Grand Rapids area or virtually for those outside the area or who prefer online meetings.

No. Bestside Blooms focuses on consulting, planning, and education, not installation. This ensures guidance is thoughtful and manageable, and allows you to feel confident implementing your garden plan at your own pace.

I work with home gardens of all sizes, including cut flowers, mixed plantings, and native species. The goal is a garden that is beautiful, achievable, and suited to your space and lifestyle.

Both the Garden Direction Session and Custom Planting Guide include a single consultation. The Custom Planting Guide also includes one round of revisions. This keeps support focused, efficient, and realistic.

After the consultation and intake, your guide is typically delivered within 10 business days.

Email bestsideblooms@gmail.com with a brief description of your space, your goals, and which offering you’re interested in. I’ll send booking options and next steps.
