Whether you’re looking to start a garden and aren’t sure where to begin or wondering how to transition an existing system toward regenerative practices, this option is to connect with Megan on a 60 minute phone call or zoom session to have your questions answered.

Online Session Topics:

• Creating and caring for a regenerative garden on a personal or communal lot
• Strategies & methods for regenerative soil building
• Composting / vermicomposting with worms
• Foundations of food forest gardening
• Introduction to permaculture's ethics and principles
• Integrated “pest” management and holistic garden care
• Tropical urban homesteading - rainwater catchment, wild fermentation, herbs into tea, medicine making, seed saving, creating a backyard plant nursery, and seasonal garden rituals.

A site assessment is the perfect way to gain a deeper understanding and relationship with the land you live on. Assessments are available for both personal and communal lots. Megan specializes in community gardens and loves bringing them to life for a neighborhood to gather, learn, and grow.

The session will begin with a walk to identify existing plants. You’ll learn valuable information on edible & medicinal “weeds” growing on your site and useful wild plants already present in your system. Soil conditions are assessed and suggestions will be provided for regenerative soil building strategies. Hydrology is then assessed and suggestions are provided for catching and storing water. Important overall patterns of your land are discussed – sunlight, wind, and significant existing sectors / influences.

You will have the opportunity to share your vision and desired yields for your space. Yields are what you want to get out of a site, from establishing food security to creating a wildlife habitat or connecting with the living world. "Yields are only limited by your imagination” – Bill Mollison. 

Your site assessment concludes with preliminary suggestions and ideas for your space provided by Megan. With a greater understanding of the land and vision, a detailed design can now be created.

Detailed Design & Consulting includes:

• Hand-drawn garden design with list of suggested plants.
• List of local resources for building healthy, regenerative soil on site.
• Continued Care Plan: a guide for how to care for your system. 
• Support from Megan throughout the creation of your garden.

Why create a regenerative garden in your backyard or in your community?

• Create a living space to learn from the living world.
• Gain valuable skills to care for yourself, your neighbors, and the land you live on.
• Cultivate greater food security and community resilience.
• Promote biodiversity in the ecosystem you live in.
• Connect more intimately with the place you call home.

At the heart of Megan’s work is education and empowerment for students of all ages and backgrounds.
