"Ask a Designer" Booth Offers Professional Landscape Design Advice
At the San Francisco Flower & Garden Show

Bring your garden design dilemmas to the San Francisco Flower & Garden Show and get 30 minutes of advice from a professional landscape designer at the Ask a Designer booth. The Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD) has teamed up with the garden show to provide you this first-ever opportunity to sit down with a designer for some quick and affordable tips and solutions for your own garden.

How does it work?
You make reservations online and pre-pay to reserve a 30-minute time slot for $30*. Bring your Client Information Sheet (see below) and ticket to the show, where you will be assigned your own personal designer. Limited drop-in time slots may be available.

You are encouraged to prepare in advance and bring photos of your existing landscape and of landscapes you love, your existing site plan, plant lists whatever you'd like to share with your designer. You will go away with valuable professional guidance that will help launch you toward the next step in your design process.
