I DON’T JUST SELL PLANTS! - OTHER SERVICES FROM PHIL CORBETT
A popular service with people who would like "on the spot" advice
before they take the next steps in developing their site. During a walk around
the site I give my impressions of the species growing there and what they indicate,
soils, microclimates and other notable features. I also give my ideas about
how I would proceed next. This service does not include a written report but
clients are free to take notes or make tapes.
The Low-Cost Site Visit is available from May to the end of October and is priced
at £90.00 per visit plus travel expenses.
PERMACULTURAL SITE AND SPECIES SURVEYS
An ideal service for architects, land owners and anyone wishing to develop a site in an ecologically aware way.
A written report will be made containing notes on plant and animal species
apparent during the visit, evidence of microclimates, notes on soils and water
on site, and any other notable features. I can then go on to discuss which of
these features might be worth conserving or controlling; and also what types
of land use would be well suited to the site, making the most of existing potentials.
A typical survey and report takes about 3 or 4 working days.
Please ask for details.
I’m often asked to teach on permaculture and similar courses, usually
giving specialist input in sustainable horticulture.
This may include fruit and orcharding, plant identification, plant pathology,
horticultural techniques, wildlife gardening, and nature rambles. Please ask
for details.
