You don’t need a green thumb, hours of free time, or a landscaping budget to grow the garden you’ve been dreaming of.
You just need a little guidance—and a plan made just for you.
Introducing...
The Garden Design Consultation
Luxury kitchen garden design for women who want fresh food, everyday beauty, and a space that feels effortless- not overwhelming.
If you’ve been imagining a garden that looks intentional… feeds you… inspires you… and invites you outside- but the thought of starting feels confusing, time-consuming, or destined to “end like last time”…
You’re in the right place.
This is for you if…
You’ve been saving inspo pics.
Dreaming of herbs by your kitchen door.
Longing for a beautiful space to sip your coffee, host a friend, or just breathe.
But something keeps getting in the way:
“I don’t have time.”
“I wouldn’t know where to start.”
“I rent.”
“I travel too much.”
“I’m not a plant person.”
“What if I mess it up?”
Whether you're a stay-at-home mom, a jet-setter, a retiree, a corporate powerhouse, or someone who just wants to make the most of her yard- you deserve a garden that fits your real life.
And if you’re craving beauty, ease, and just a little more green in your everyday?
You’re exactly who I created this for.
Meet Your Garden Bestie
Hi, I’m Megan- founder of Green Nook Gardens.
I design beautiful, low-maintenance outdoor spaces that thrive with just a few minutes of care a day.
Not long ago, I thought gardens were only for people with time, space, and some kind of magical green thumb. Then I learned how to create gardens that work with real life- messy schedules, busy seasons, travel, kids, work and all.
Now I help women turn blank patios, overgrown corners, and big backyard dreams into thriving, low-effort gardens they feel proud of.
No stress. No guesswork. No wasted weekends.
Just a beautiful space, built around you.
Imagine this...
You open your back door to a garden that feels like an extension of your home- intentional, beautiful, and full of life.
Fresh herbs just steps from your kitchen.
Tomatoes warm from the sun.
A tucked-away corner that makes you pause, breathe, and actually enjoy being outside.
And the best part?
It didn’t take weeks of trial and error, endless YouTube videos, or a summer spent covered in dirt and doubt.
You have a garden that works- a space that reflects your style, fits your lifestyle, and takes just minutes a day to maintain.
And every time you walk outside, you think,
“I can’t believe this is mine.”
Here's How it Works
The Garden Design Consultation is your starting point for creating a garden that looks beautiful, grows well, and fits your real life.
Whether you want to DIY your way through it or hand everything off completely, you’ll walk away with a clear, custom plan that makes your dream garden doable.
What’s Included
Pre-consultation Questionnaire and Call
So I can understand your space, your style, and your goals before I arrive- including whether you’re leaning DIY or white-glove installation.
In-Person Consultation
(60 minutes)
We’ll walk your space together, talk through your vision, explore layout ideas, and map out the direction for your custom garden design.
Bespoke Garden Design
A custom layout created for your space and lifestyle — complete with a scaled design and a plan that fits your lifestyle.
You Choose Your Path
DIY Garden: Perfect if you’re ready to get your hands dirty. You’ll receive your full design plan, supply list, and planting instructions—so you can make it happen, your way.
White Glove Installation: Want the whole thing done for you? I’ll send a custom proposal for full installation based on our consult. If you choose this path, I’ll handle everything from prep to planting.
Note: We’ll determine your path before the consultation so I can tailor our time (and deliverables) to your needs. You'll get full cost expectations in the pre-visit questionnaire.
Why I Created the Five-Minute Garden
When I started gardening, I had big, dreamy visions—fresh veggies on the table, flowers in bloom, a backyard that felt like a sanctuary.
But the reality?
Bad soil.
Relentless pests.
Barely enough greens for a single salad.
And all while juggling a full-time job, a baby, and zero free time.
Still, I couldn’t shake the dream.
So I kept going. I learned, experimented, failed, adjusted… and eventually figured out a way to design gardens that actually work for real life.
Gardens that are productive and beautiful.
Gardens that don’t demand hours of upkeep.
Gardens that give you peace, pride, and fresh herbs for your dinner- without the overwhelm.
That’s how the Five-Minute Garden was born.
Now I help women create outdoor spaces that give back more than they take- no overwhelm, no guesswork, no wasted weekends.
Because you deserve a garden that grows with your life, not one that competes with it.

If you're thinking “Is This Really for Me?”
Let’s talk about it.
Maybe you’ve tried gardening before and it didn’t go well.
Maybe you’re busy, overwhelmed, renting, or convinced you don’t have the “green thumb” gene.
Here’s the truth: you don’t need more time, more knowledge, or a different lifestyle.
You just need a plan that fits your life- and that’s exactly what this consultation gives you.
Let’s tackle the big questions:
“I travel too much.”
Totally fine. I design gardens that thrive even when you’re not home.
“I don’t have a green thumb.”
Your plan will match your experience level- no overwhelm.
“I rent.”
We’ll create movable, non-permanent garden solutions that look beautiful and go wherever you go.
“I don’t have time.”
Five-Minute Gardens are built for busy schedules- not against them.
“I might not be able to afford a full install.”
That’s why you choose your path upfront- DIY or white-glove. Both options work beautifully.
A garden that works with your life is possible- and this is how you get there.

Want some answers to your (maybe) burning questions?
After booking, you’ll get a welcome email with all the details.
You’ll complete a short Pre-Consultation Questionnaire (and optional quick call) so I can understand your space, goals, and whether you prefer the DIY or white-glove path.
From there, we’ll schedule your on-site consultation, where the magic really begins.
Good news - this process was designed for busy women.
The pre-consult questionnaire takes just a few minutes, and the on-site visit is about an hour.
After that, you can get back to your day while I create your custom design and deliverables.
Absolutely.
This consultation is perfect for beginners, plant “black thumbs,” and anyone who feels overwhelmed.
Your design will be built intentionally for ease, success, and low maintenance- no experience required.
Nope — choosing your path simply tells me which deliverables to prepare.
If you choose the white-glove option, you’ll receive a custom installation proposal, but you are not committed to moving forward until you sign a contract and submit a deposit.
No pressure, no surprises — just clarity.
Because I believe every woman deserves access to a beautiful, functional garden — without a huge upfront cost.
This consultation is packed with expert guidance and a custom design, all priced to make getting started feel accessible and exciting.

I currently serve Buford and the surrounding areas within a 30-mile radius.
If you’re close but unsure, email me — I’ll let you know!
