Our services
We give your garden the love it needs: tidy where it needs to be, messy where it needs to be, seasonally aligned and detailed. Pruning, weeding, amending, transplanting, dividing — we maintain it while balancing the needs of nature with modern aesthetics.
We renovate existing gardens and design and install new ones. With native, edible plants and eco-friendly landscapes, we take your garden from mess to miracle. Water is vital to any ecosystem, so we strive to bring a water element into every garden.
Through public and private courses and workshops, we provide a detailed garden management plan for you and your organization. When we're done, you'll have the tools and techniques to garden on your own.
Our mission
We aim to bring more beauty and diversity to people, wildlife, and the planet through gardening, design and installation, and education.
By fostering dwindling insect and bird populations, finding a balance between order and chaos, and using regenerative and restorative techniques, we're saving the planet one garden at a time.
For over 10 years, Almost Wild's founder has worked as a gardener, developer and educator. A Red Seal Landscape Horticulturist and long-time teacher at Pacific Horticulture College, Adam is passionate about improving the environment through education and ecological horticulture.
Everyone at Almost Wild is a PHC graduate and passionate horticulturist. We constantly evaluate our practices, looking for ways to do better for the client and the planet — combining beauty and diversity with maintenance that fits your needs and contributes to an edible, diverse landscape.
We also believe in “teaching people to garden for a lifetime.” Through online and in-person workshops for schools, companies, organizations and individuals, we share the tools to create and sustain a diverse, seasonally appropriate garden — and food sources for humans and critters for generations to come.
