What Happens During a Healing Roots Design Consultation?

Are you curious about what happens during a Healing Roots Design consultation?

Unlike a standard landscaping consultation that can be reductionist and create environmental problems after installation, Permaculture Designers stay open and curious about their surroundings to understand the physical history of land use, existing challenges and potential opportunities specific to the site, and the human personality, desires and health goals of the clients to design and achieve the best holistic outcomes for the land and the people who will be nourished by it.

In our time together, we will discuss legal issues, common pain points, unsavory sight lines to biologically interrupt, whether existing pathways are adequate for the people and materials to move around the site, as well as how the land is shaped by the watershed and features both above and below the land.

We will investigate patterns of sun, wind, pollution, and the current health of the soil. The conversation includes ecological tidbits that may revolutionize how you see your land and yourself as a steward, classic type 1 errors to avoid that cost significant expense during installation, suggestions on plants specific to soil, water, light conditions, and creating micro-climates to grow your favorite plants and fruit trees.

We see your outer landscape benefiting and reflecting your inner landscape and have a desire to foster greater health and well-being for both your family and the planet. We will ask how you want to feel and recreate in your landscape, and tasks you like to do and don't want to do. We may also inquire how you are sleeping, what your health goals are this year, and what one change would make the largest difference with how you interact outside.

In short, Healing Roots Design consultations are insightful, informative, ecologically and human-centered, and aspire to work with your goals, time frame, and budget to bring your land, garden, and health dreams to life!

We care to meet you where you are, and create a sanctuary to mitigate anxiety, decrease stress, increase health and well-being and produce a flourishing harvest.
