2. Design Garden Plans: Create customized garden layouts and planting plans based on your goals—whether it’s for aesthetic beauty, growing food, or attracting pollinators.
    
3. Provide Planting Advice: Recommend plants suited to your garden’s conditions, taking into account factors like sunlight, water, and soil type.
    
4. Pest and Disease Management: Offer strategies for preventing or managing pests and diseases naturally, without relying heavily on chemicals.
    
5. Offer Maintenance Tips: Help you develop a sustainable maintenance routine to keep your garden healthy and thriving throughout the year.
    
6. Teach Sustainable Practices: Share techniques like companion planting, soil enrichment, water conservation, and eco-friendly gardening methods.
    
7. Garden Education: Provide hands-on guidance or workshops, teaching clients how to care for their garden and make the most of their space.
    

In short, a garden consultant helps people cultivate beautiful, functional, and sustainable gardens by offering expert advice, customized solutions, and ongoing support.
