FIRST, A LITTLE CONTEXT

THE RIGHT FIT

This remote service is designed for people who already have a vegetable garden and want to connect it more fully with nature. If you do not yet have a garden in place, learn about other Gardenwell offerings here.

THE SEASON TO BEGIN

Autumn is an ideal time to plant perennials that return stronger year after year. By planning and planting now, you prepare your garden for a thriving season ahead, with established shelter and food sources for pollinators and beneficial insects.

NICE TO MEET YOU

Gardenwell founder Kiera Faulkner Jekos creates kitchen gardens that are both abundant and beautifully connected to nature. As an educator and garden designer in NYC and New York’s Hudson Valley, she helps home gardeners move toward a calmer, more intentional way of growing.

THE PROCESS

COMPLIMENTARY INTRO CALL

Once you submit the short inquiry form below, we’ll schedule a 15-minute video call. It’s simply a chance to see if we’re the right fit. If not, no worries. We’ll still share helpful resources to guide your next step. If it turns out to be a wonderful, resounding yes, you’ll receive an invoice and we’ll move right into the next step.

GARDEN PROFILE + CONSULT

Before our first working call, you’ll complete a Garden Profile to share photos, measurements, and key details about your space. This gives me the information I need to begin shaping your design.

During the consult, we’ll:

  • Talk through your garden experiences, both wins and struggles

  • Explore style preferences for how you’d like the garden to feel

  • Review the details of your existing garden space

  • Consider environmental factors such as light, soil, and surroundings

This call brings together your input and my expertise, setting the foundation for a design that reflects both your vision and your garden’s needs.

DELIVERABLES

With your Beneficial Kitchen Garden design package, you’ll receive:

  • A custom planting plan tailored to your garden’s size and conditions
