Vegetable Garden Consulting · Missoula, MT
Vegetable Garden Consulting in Missoula, Montana
One visit. A plan that fits your yard, your soil, and Missoula’s short season.
A Plan Built Around Your Yard
Missoula gives you about 120 days between frosts, 13 inches of rain per year, and soil that ranges from good loam to dense clay depending on where you live in the valley. That combination rewards gardeners who plan for it and frustrates those who don’t.
I’m Dusti. I provide vegetable garden consulting for Missoula homeowners who want to grow more food without spending every season guessing at what went wrong. Whether you’re starting from scratch or trying to fix a garden that isn’t producing the way it should, I’ll come to your space and give you a plan built around what you actually have to work with.
Who This Is For
A good fit if you:
- Have never gardened before and aren’t sure where to start
- Have tried growing vegetables but couldn’t get them to produce
- Want to grow more of your own food this season
- Aren’t sure if your space, soil, or timing is the problem
What’s Included
- On-site visit (60–90 minutes)
- Soil assessment and improvement recommendations
- Garden layout tailored to your space

Missoula’s growing season is short. The sooner you have a plan, the more you’ll grow.
