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 is perfect for those that want some advice and inspiration on designing their own garden, whether it’s basic help with layout, the right plants for the space, or choosing the right materials, as well as for those that have an established garden and want to make some tweaks or are stuck on a tricky area.

How does it work?

The time is yours to use as you wish.

During the session you can sharei nspirational images of gardens you love and from there you can use the session however you want – from asking for layout ideas, to tips on how to uplift a specific area in your garden, the best plants for your garden etc.

It’s your session and Tanja will work with you to answer your garden design related questions.  

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. I look forward to collaborating with Gardens by Design in the future!”
