About Reliable Garden Consulting

With over 15 years of experience in landscape design and horticulture, Reliable Garden Consulting has been transforming outdoor spaces across Portland, Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest. Our team of certified master gardeners and landscape architects brings together expertise in sustainable gardening practices, native plant selection, and innovative design solutions.

Founded in 2008 by Sarah Mitchell, a certified Master Gardener and landscape design specialist, our company emerged from a passion for creating beautiful, functional outdoor spaces that work in harmony with the local ecosystem. We believe that every garden has the potential to be both stunning and sustainable, regardless of size or budget.

Our comprehensive approach combines traditional horticultural knowledge with modern sustainable practices, ensuring that your garden not only looks beautiful but also supports local wildlife, conserves water, and provides year-round interest. We specialize in Pacific Northwest native plants, edible landscaping, rain gardens, and low-maintenance perennial borders that thrive in our unique climate.

What sets us apart is our commitment to education and long-term success. We don't just design and plant – we teach you how to maintain and evolve your garden over time. Our clients become confident gardeners who understand their landscape and can make informed decisions about plant care, seasonal maintenance, and future improvements.
