Backyard Apothecary

You don’t just want to grow plants—you want to grow practices that nourish.

This is a full-season, high-touch experience to help you create a healing garden. From garden plan to hands-on remedy-making, we’ll work together to bring your garden to life and deepen your connection with the land.

  • Over the course of a season, we’ll co-create a garden that supports both beauty and healing, and you’ll gain hands-on experience with growing and preparing your own herbal remedies.

    Step 1: Personalized Garden Design (75 minutes)
    We begin with an onsite consultation where we walk your space, discuss your goals, and design a custom healing garden. You’ll receive a personalized planting plan with herbs and plants selected to match your lifestyle and intentions.

    Step 2: First Harvest & Medicine-Making (45 minutes)
    As your garden begins to grow, we’ll gather for a hands-on session to harvest your plants and create simple, seasonal remedies—like infused oils, teas, or tinctures—designed for your own home use.

    Step 3: Deepen the Practice (45 minutes)
    Later in the season, we’ll meet again to explore a second herbal preparation, tailored to your garden’s growth and your evolving interests. This session will help you build confidence and deepen your relationship with the plants you’ve grown.

    Also Included:

    • A custom planting plan and plant list

    • Two seasonal, 45-minute medicine-making sessions

    • Step-by-step guidance on harvesting, drying, and preparing remedies using your own garden

    • Ongoing seasonal support via email between sessions

  • This is a seasonal, three-part offering that takes place over several months—typically from spring through early fall.

    • Initial Design Session: 80 minutes, onsite

    • Two Follow-Up Sessions: 45 minutes each, onsite, timed with your garden’s growth

    All sessions are conducted in-person at your home garden (within the service area). If you're outside this area, reach out to confirm availability before booking.

Virtual Roots

An open MacBook with a city skyline on the screen, placed on a wooden table with a potted plant and a bowl of green grapes in the background, in a well-lit room.

For dreamers with dirt under their nails — even if it’s just a windowsill.

Whether you’re working with a balcony, a backyard, or a single raised bed, this is gentle, customized guidance to help you root into what matters — without the onsite consult.

  • Great for small spaces, container gardens, or folks just getting started.

    • 30-minute consult over Zoom

    • On-the-spot recommendations

  • 40-minutes via Zoom

  • $75

Testimonials

  • We’ve struggled with parts of our yard where nothing ever seems to grow, but Kristen came in with fresh eyes and so many thoughtful ideas. We walked away feeling inspired and excited about what’s possible in our space.

    David L.

  • She suggested a mix of herbs, ornamentals, and medicinals that actually make sense for each tricky spot. What we really loved was that she didn’t just give us plant ideas—she shared tips for maintenance and even how to think ahead as the garden evolves.
