A private gardener for landscapes that should age gracefully.
Ongoing garden and landscape stewardship across Louisville and Southern Indiana. Organic, regenerative care that protects your investment and lets the garden mature into something refined, lush and resilient.
What is Hort Care
Horticulture as stewardship - not mow & blow maintenance.
WLDflora Hort Care is ongoing garden management focused on plants, soil health and seasonal care. Each visit follows the original design intent so gardens become more refined and resilient over time. Most clients add Hort Care after we install - to protect their investment, reduce upkeep, and let the landscape settle into its best self.
What's included
Eight practices, woven through every visit.
Seasonal Pruning
Structural and renewal pruning timed to species and season - shaping for health, light and longevity.
Perennial Care
Cutbacks, division, dead-heading and editing to keep beds lush, balanced and ever-evolving.
Soil Improvement
Compost, biochar, leaf mold and mineral amendments tuned to your soil tests - building living soil season over season.
Mulching
Hardwood, leaf or pine mulch applied at correct depth - moisture retention without smothering crowns.
Organic Fertilization
Compost teas, fish & kelp, mycorrhizal inoculants - feeding the soil web, not the leaf.
Plant Health & IPM
Integrated pest and disease monitoring with the lightest possible touch. Bees, birds and beneficials stay welcome.
Seasonal Planting
Bulb layering, cool-season annuals, succession planting and editing as the garden matures.
Edible Garden Care
Kitchen gardens, cut-flower beds and orchard care - planted, tended and harvested on your behalf.
Private gardener
Part horticulturist, part steward, part craftsman.
A private gardener cares for your garden's health, look and growth over time. Hands-on, attentive care - monitoring plant health, making small adjustments as the garden matures, and guiding it through every season so it stays natural, balanced and unmistakably yours.
One named lead gardener per property. Notes kept on every plant. The same eyes on your landscape, year after year.

Bi-weekly
Active season care
Twice a month March through November - the recommended cadence for most residential properties.
Weekly
