A botanical survey includes a personal plant walk with Hayden, after which he will provide you with a customized list of plants found on your property (or whatever area you would like surveyed), including their native status and edibility, medicinal uses, or poisonous nature.

You wouldn’t tear down a house without appraising the structure, furniture and appliances, so we feel you should do the same for your property. Amidst the lawn and invasive species so familiar to us are wonderful edible and medicinal native plants. Every plant you buy at a nursery was selected by someone, and there is no reason to think some of the best varieties of plants aren’t already on your property.

These surveys are great for

Landowners curious about what is on their property, and the uses for the plants on their property.
Farms looking to explore pre-existing plants that could be brought to market, made into value-added products, or used to grow mushrooms on.
Developers looking to preserve plants in the place of a future development (displaced plants can offset the cost of purchasing new plants for landscaping).
Conservation groups looking to catalog and increase biodiversity on properties.

A botanical survey is a great way to deepen your understanding of the plants around you, or to help inform a management plan for your property. If you are outside of the range of our services, be in touch about how to do remote surveys.
