Our process
How it works
Free walk-through
We come to your space, look at the light, the soil, and the existing plants, and talk about how you want to use the garden. No cost, no commitment.
Proposal
Within two weeks we send a plant list, a rough layout sketch, and a cost estimate broken down by phase. You approve or we adjust — as many revisions as needed.
Installation
Our team handles materials, delivery, soil prep, and planting. We leave your space clean, your plants labeled, and a care sheet for the first season.
Ongoing care
Monthly or bimonthly maintenance visits to keep everything healthy through the seasons. Optional, but most clients add it after the first year.

a few things
Thoughtful gardening and design for the East Bay.
Yarrow Gardening specializes in fine gardening, maintenance, design, and small scale installation in the East Bay Area. We use non-toxic and organic products to create a healthy environment for people, pets, and all living organisms in our ecosystem. We garden using thoughtful intent — plant placement, sunlight, water needs, seasonal timing — so we can promise long-term development throughout our clients' gardens.
in their words
★★★★★"People gasp in wonder when they enter the gate, and it is all clearly the result of 'Yarrow Care'! I happily refer to them as the 'Garden Nymphs.' Highest recommendation."
Tom
Every garden starts with a drawing.
Before a plant goes in the ground, we sketch. Our design plans show you exactly what you're getting — species, layout, materials, and scale.
