Personalized Garden Consulting And Design Services In Dallas
If you have ever looked at your backyard and wished it felt more welcoming, more full of life, or simply more useful, you are not alone. Many homeowners in Dallas imagine having their own herb garden, blooming planters by the front door, or a space outdoors that brings peace and joy. That is where I come in. My name is Kristina Melendi, and I started Rainy Day Botanicals to help people turn outdoor spaces into something beautiful and functional through creativity, knowledge, and a deep love for growing.
As a garden consultant, I work with people at every experience level. Some just want a plan. Others want help from start to finish. Whether it is advice on plant selections or an entire installation with raised beds and delivery, I match your level of involvement and make gardening fun, doable, and truly rewarding.
Garden Consulting Tailored To You
Every garden is unique, and so is every gardener. That is why I offer one-on-one consulting sessions designed to meet your needs, space, and goals. During our one-hour session, I can walk your yard, listen to what you envision, and give expert advice on everything from soil prep to plant choices.
Consulting services are $50 per hour and work well for projects such as:
-
Herb and kitchen gardens
-
Pollinator-friendly plantings
-
Seasonal and decorative planters
-
Raised bed vegetable gardens
Whether you are in a small apartment or have a full backyard, I can help you create a space that grows with you.
Raised Beds And Custom Garden Design
Raised beds are one of the best ways to garden in Dallas, especially with our challenging clay soil. They allow for improved soil management, fewer weeds, and better drainage. I design and install raised beds that are easy to maintain while adding curb appeal and charm.
Each raised bed project starts with what you want to grow. If fresh tomatoes and herbs are your goal, I tailor the shape, size, and soil mix to fit that. If you want something kid-friendly or ADA-accessible, we will make that happen too. I handle all the delivery, soil prep, layout, and planting, so your new garden is ready to flourish with minimal stress.
Container Planting And Seasonal Planters
Even if you only have a patio or small porch, I can help you make it feel lush and inviting. I offer custom container planting with seasonal blooms, fresh herbs, or evergreen accents. These planters are styled to fit your home and make a big impact with minimal space.
Let’s talk about the lighting, pot size, and the plants you enjoy. I will bring your space to life by taking care of it all, including soil, clean-up, and placement.

Workshops That Make Gardening Fun
If you enjoy learning by doing, you will love our hands-on seasonal workshops. These are beginner-friendly and fun, whether you are coming solo or as a group. Each session is around 90 minutes and includes all the supplies to build something like a mini herb garden or container for the season.
Workshops are perfect for friends, coworkers, or small events. Pricing ranges from $40 to $50 per person depending on supplies. I provide guidance every step of the way so you feel confident walking away with something you made and know how to care for.
Full-Service Installation And Planting
Not everyone wants to dig. That is okay. If gardening is something you want to enjoy without doing all the work, I can provide full-service planting and installation. From laying out raised beds to placing seasonal planters and installing plants in the ground, I do it all.
After discussing your vision and space, I take care of the planning, materials, delivery, and clean-up. Whether it is a spring refresh or an entire yard upgrade, I make sure everything starts right and is set up to grow well long after planting day.
