Horticultural Consulting for Sydney’s Inner West
Appleseed Gardening offers professional horticultural consulting for homes, townhouses, and strata properties throughout Sydney’s Inner West. Our qualified horticulturists work with you to understand your garden’s conditions, diagnose plant issues, and create the garden you want.
We focus on giving you practical, trustworthy advice that helps your garden grow confidently throughout the year. Whether you are dealing with declining plant health, uncertain plant choices, or complicated growing conditions, we provide guidance based on local experience and professional horticultural knowledge
Tailored Horticultural Support
Gardens in the Inner West are wonderfully diverse, and each comes with its own mix of opportunities and challenges. Soil type, sunlight, microclimates, and limited space all influence which plants will thrive. Our consulting service considers all these factors so you receive targeted and achievable advice aligned with your long-term goals.
We see this every day. A shaded courtyard in Annandale might need carefully chosen plants that tolerate low light, whilst long-established properties in Summer Hill often benefit from soil improvement to help plants grow more reliably.
We can help with:
- Plant health assessments that identify underlying issues and outline practical solutions
- Plant selection recommendations for gardens with shade, heat, or compact layouts
- Soil improvement advice that strengthens plant performance and long-term garden health
- Edible garden planning for productive spaces that suit smaller Inner West yards
- Planting guidance that explains what to plant and where to place it for the best results
Our goal is to help you build a garden that feels resilient and balanced. We focus on plants and practices that naturally suit the Inner West climate rather than forcing the garden to work against it.
Inner West Knowledge You Can Trust
We work across suburbs such as Dulwich Hill, Annandale, Summer Hill, and Marrickville, giving us a detailed understanding of the growing conditions in this part of Sydney. From narrow beds and shaded courtyards to compact balconies and older garden beds, we know how to adapt planting choices and care techniques to suit each space.
You can expect friendly, practical guidance during every visit. We explain what is happening in your garden and outline the steps that will make the most impact, whether you plan to carry out the work yourself or prefer ongoing support.

Can you help diagnose plant health issues in my garden?
We can identify what is causing stress or decline, whether it is pests, disease, soil problems, or incorrect placement. After the assessment, we guide you through solutions that will help your plants recover and grow with more confidence.
Do you provide plant recommendations for small Inner West gardens?
We specialise in choosing compact, resilient plants suited to courtyards, balconies, and shaded spaces common throughout the Inner West. This ensures your planting choices feel realistic and well-matched to your garden.
Can you help me set up an edible garden?
We can assist with selecting herbs, vegetables, and fruit trees that grow well in the Inner West climate. You also receive guidance on positioning and care so your edible garden continues to thrive.
How long does a horticultural visit usually take?
Most consultations take about an hour, although larger or more complex gardens may need a little extra time for a thorough assessment. We always ensure you receive clear and complete advice before we finish
Do you offer support after the consultation?
Follow-up support is available if you would like additional guidance or help implementing planting and soil improvements. We can revisit your garden, check progress, and adjust recommendations as needed.
