In-Person Advice Sessions 

For those that don’t require a full garden design package, Tanja offers one-off advice sessions, available in person. 

This service is ideal for homeowners who already have a garden or planting in place and want expert guidance to improve or refine it. Whether you need layout tweaks, help solving a tricky area, or advice on more suitable plants and materials, this session provides practical recommendations you can implement yourself.

Please note: this is an advisory session only — it does not include detailed drawings, plant schedules, or a full planting plan.

How does it work?

The session time is yours to use as you wish. You can share inspirational images of gardens you love, discuss layout ideas, get tips for uplifting a specific area, or talk through which plants are best suited to your garden.

This is an advisory session — perfect for answering your garden design questions on the spot. It does not include detailed drawings, plant schedules, a full planting plan, or a follow-up summary of the discussion.

For larger or more complex projects, a full planting or garden design service is usually required to achieve the best results  

Tanja can advise on:

  • Layout Ideas

  • Material choices

  • Plant Selection

  • Outdoor Furniture

“Working with Tanja was an absolute pleasure! Her dedication to the quality of her work is evident, and I was truly impressed by the depth of knowledge and experience in the UAE. The design and build process was well-documented, and incredibly straightforward from start to finish. The end result is a beautiful garden that we love spending time in.
