Container design,
planting & care.
Whether you have existing planters or are starting fresh, Meredith can help with plant selection, planting, seasonal updates, and ongoing care.
Seasonal refreshes
Refresh your planters as the seasons change. Plant choices account for summer heat, cooler weather, and changes in sunlight so the planting suits the months ahead.
Ongoing plant care
Plant check-ins, pruning, feeding, and care guidance help maintain your containers. We’ll discuss a care schedule that fits the planting and how much you want to handle yourself.
Business entrances & patios
Container planting for business entrances, restaurant patios, and outdoor gathering areas. We consider the setting, foot traffic, and access for routine care.

From the start.
Every project starts with the setting: sun and shade, wind exposure, drainage, and the season. Those conditions guide the plants we combine and the care they’ll need.

Text a photo of the area or your existing planters. Include what you’d like to change, your location, and any ideas you have.
Choose the planting and budget.
Meredith will discuss the conditions, container options, plant choices, and care requirements with you. The scope and price are agreed before planting begins.

Text Meredith about your projectQuestions
& answers.
Can you work with pots I already have?
That’s a great place to start. We’ll look at their size, condition, and drainage, then talk about what can work and whether anything needs to be added.
Do you only use native plants?
No. Native plants are part of a broader palette. We combine them with well-suited ornamental plants, choosing for your light, the season, and compatible care needs. The aim is a beautiful composition that makes sense in your space.
I don’t have a green thumb. Is this for me?
Absolutely. Tell us how much hands-on care feels realistic. We’ll take that into account when planning your containers and explain the care they need.
Do you work with small businesses?
Yes. We help with container planting for storefronts, entrances, patios, and other small business spaces. We’ll discuss access and timing around your business.
How much does a project cost?
Each space is different. The number and size of containers, plant choices, and level of care all shape the price. We’ll discuss your budget and agree on a quote before any work begins.
Where do you work?
We’re based on Saint Simons Island, Georgia. For a project elsewhere in the Golden Isles, include your location when you get in touch so we can confirm availability.
