Our in-person garden project consultations are the first step to help you create your dream edible garden. Leveraging our agricultural expertise, we offer site-specific advice on garden layout and unique growing conditions in South Florida. During the visit, we will:
Assess your space for optimal garden placement based on sun exposure.
Understand your project needs to create a personalized garden plan.
Recommend suitable crops and explain organic growing methods.
When a project features a simple kitchen garden you will receive a quote for installation following the consultation. Projects with a bit more complexity will be followed up with a quote to begin a design process with our team. If you proceed with our services, the consultation fee of $525 will be credited toward the final bill.
Expect a 1-1.5 hours on-site visit.

Garden design is a creative and collaborative process. We’ll be meeting to talk about your budget as well as aesthetic preferences, how you want your garden to look and feel when you and your family walk through it. How many raised beds will be in your kitchen garden, what kind of walkway leads you there, is there a fire pit or outdoor dining area? These are all questions we’ll consider during this part of the process.
Once the design direction is set our in-house landscape designer develops detailed plans that encompass every aspect of your garden's layout. Our documentation includes planting lists, hardscaping elements and specifications for any necessary site preparations.
Price based project scope, generally 10% of the project budget.

With over 15 years of experience in South Florida building edible gardens in residential, educational and hospitality settings, our team is ready to bring your garden vision to life. We have the most experience with building kitchen gardens, using metal planters or custom wood designs to match the aesthetic of your home. Our team coordinates every detail of construction, from site preparation and irrigation to planter installation. One of the things that makes us unique is that we run our own edible plant nursery, which means we have access to a large variety of high quality starter plants. We will guide your plant list using our background in organic farming to help you choose crops most likely to succeed during every season of the year.
A standard kitchen garden measuring roughly 650 square feet, with 2-3 raised beds and automatic irrigation typically starts at $10,000
Landscaping projects start at $15,000
-
After garden installation is complete, we offer garden maintenance services specifically for kitchen gardens and pollinator gardens because these types of gardens require routine care to stay productive and beautiful.
Our experienced maintenance team can visit your garden on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly routine to take care of everything from harvesting to pest management. We bring things like new plants and seeds to switch out crops, trellises, organic fertilizers and tools necessary to keep your garden healthy, productive and aesthetically pleasing.
We welcome you to join us during our visits if you’d like to learn more about edible gardening. We’ll always keep you up to date with what is going on in your garden and work with you to curate the planting list to suit your preferences.
A typical kitchen garden visit starts at $700

Our one-time virtual Q&A Consultation offers a personalized hour with one of our lead gardeners. These consultations are best suited for vegetable gardens. During this video call, we’ll conduct a thorough overview of your garden and offer strategic advice for optimizing your growing space. Be prepared to show us around your garden or space.
We’ll address your questions and typically cover sun exposure, plant selection, composting and organic soil recommendations. After the session, you'll receive a summary of our notes and additional resources, as well as links to our seasonal virtual workshops.
$295
Please Note: This service does not include detailed garden design, which incurs additional costs.

We Are Hiring
Little River Cooperative designs, builds, and cares for edible gardens throughout South Florida. For more than 15 years, we’ve worked with homeowners, schools, restaurants, and hospitality spaces to create gardens that are beautiful, productive, and deeply connected to the environment around them.
Our mission is to empower people through deeper connections with food and ecology. We bring that mission to life every day by creating spaces where people can grow food, learn, gather, explore, and experience a closer connection to the natural world.
Our work brings together edible and native plants with thoughtful design to create gardens that feel distinctly at home in South Florida. For the people who work here, that means being part of something tangible: creating places that people use, learn from, enjoy, and remember.

Upcoming events
Starting seeds can often be the trickiest part of a successful home garden. Its quite literally why we exist as a plant nursery! It can be so challenging to grow healthy, disease free, sturdy and weather acclimated starter plants that many home gardeners give up on it and just come get their plants from us instead. We have been providing Miami with the healthiest seedlings in town for more than 10 years and this is the only workshop where we share all of our essential secrets, tips and tricks so you can grow yourself super duper happy healthy seedlings too.
This workshop will take place at our plant nursery in the Redland and is being taught by our seed starter and plant whisperer extraordinaire farmer Tiffany. She has been managing our seedling operation since the first day and is the keeper of the seedling secrets! She will give the group a tour of the nursery and explain why we made some of the design decisions we did when building it. After that we will gather in our potting shed to learn about all of the specialty materials we use and she will do lots of hands on demonstrations because seed starting is best learned with the body and the mind together.
This class is intimately sized so that we can all have a chance to participate in seed starting too! Each participant will get to start their own 72 cell tray of seedlings using the Little River Coop super extensive seed stash, after which you'll get detailed instructions for taking care of your seed tray at home. Getting to start a tray from our seed collection is a pretty sweet deal if you have a garden you were going to buy plants for. We have hundreds of seed varieties in our collection and you'll be able to choose and plant whatever you'd like, which will save you from having to buy lots of seed packets just to use a few seeds. If you take good care of your cell tray you'll have 72 healthy seedlings in just 3-4 short weeks that can be transplanted into your garden for fall.
Saturday, September 19th

Little River Coop Nursery
22305 SW 157th Avenue
Redland, FL. 33170
This workshop is a 1 hour long lecture-style discussion of the following topics, followed by a 1.5 hour long hands on seeding session.
-tour of our nursery, why we designed it the way we did
-tour of the potting shed
-introduction to materials
-hands on techniques for seed starting
-issues to look out for with young plants
-special seed needs: scarification, light, stratification
-hands on activity: lets plant a 72 cell tray!
-caring for your 72 cell tray at home for optimum success
This class can run a bit long (sometimes it runs over so make sure you are free for about 3 hours to make sure you can finish your tray) and a bit expensive because its so involved (and long!) and requires so much material. But trust us, its worth it and sells out fast since we keep it small! Sign up now!
Due to the intimate nature of the workshops we do not offer refunds for cancellations but we oftentimes have a waitlist so with enough warning we can try to replace you and then refund your payment.

What our Clients are Saying
“I've worked with the team at Little River for years, first as a coop client, then as a market client and most recently as a landscape/gardening client. I've always loved their work! They have a brilliant team, a beautiful eye and an incomparable knowledge of what works in South Florida! Most recently, they completed a flower 'cutting' garden for me in raised beds inspired by some beloved gardens in Maine, and I couldn't be happier, this little garden has brought me so much joy in the two years that I've had it!”
Nina
“Having Little River Cooperative plant and service our garden is amazing!! Muriel & Tiffany are very professional and knowledgeable about the challenges of growing produce in South Florida. Having their team allows me to have fresh organic produce just a few steps from the kitchen. They have worked to build a customized selection of herbs, greens, and vegetable that support my culinary tastes.”
Jake
“My team and I have had the honor and joy of working with Muriel, Tiffany and the Little River Cooperative team since 2015 on multiple projects, including community gardens for private businesses and activating larger-scale public spaces. In the first project, they created the largest urban, organic edible garden in the county at our venue, The Wynwood Yard.
They have brilliantly worked with us over the years to design and upgrade our gardens, always providing thoughtful insights into the layouts, materials and specific plants to grow within each area of the space. The LRC team has provided a large range of additional services, including monthly maintenance to the gardens, leading community workshops and educational events, and jumping in for a variety consulting and garden-related projects as they arise. They are by far and away our #1 choice and recommended vendor for these types of projects, as they consistently display the highest level of creativity, professionalism and integrity.”
