Online Native Garden Consultation

  • 2500


We have a great knowledge base at Seed-Balls.com, and we want to help plan your native pollinator garden or reclaim that eroded hillside! We answer a lot of questions, and decided to offer a range of native gardening consultation services. 

On staff, we have a conservation geographer, a biologist, a forester and a soil scientist. We put our heads together for each consultation, providing you with a detailed report that will be both informative and useful. 

How it works

  1. You'll be sent an email survey with numerous questions about your site and what you have in mind for your garden, and with Advanced Packages, a kit for collecting samples of soil and sending them to the laboratory. 
  2. Once we receive your response we will get to work. Depending on the nature of your requirements and the package that you enroll in, we'll gather and analyze data from US Forest Service, USDA NRCS Plants Database, National Soil Survey, US Geological Survey, Biota of North America Database, current sustainability research, and any laboratory results from the samples that you collect. 
  3. You will receive compiled, printable PDF containing your results, our planting suggestions, and observations that will be useful in recognizing the potential of your landscape. You will also receive an email with active links to additional online resources.

Allow one week from interview completion for Basic Packages. Allow three weeks from receipt of soil samples and completion of interview for Advanced Packages.
