"Ask a Designer" Booth Offers Professional Landscape Design Advice
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 (plus a small ticketing service fee). At the show you will be assigned your own personal designer.
You are encouraged to prepare in advance and bring photos of your existing landscape and of landscapes you love, your existing site plan, plant listswhatever 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.
What can be accomplished in your 30-minute session?
Here are some ideas:
a review of the plants on your wish list
suggestions for creating a list of plants that work well together and are suitable for your site
ideas for translating the look of a garden show display to a real-life home landscape
coaching on how to organize your ideas into an overall theme for your landscape
professional feedback on your own landscape ideas
resources for finding plants, hardscape materials and decorative elements
learn in detail about the step-by-step process of professional landscape design
Disclaimer: APLD designers providing consultations at the show will be offering conceptual design and horticultural advice only. A complete landscape design is much more involved than the session provided at the show.
Please note, your $30 consultation fee does not include show admission or parking fees, and is nonrefundable. Because weather conditions and parking times vary, please allow extra time to get to the show:
