Yes! You have 2 options. 

1. You can book a consultation with Liz at this link. 
2. Just send us the answers to the 3 question in this page. 

How many plants should I order?

Calculate your square footage (length x width) and divide by 1.56 to determine number of plants needed. Example: 10 x 25' area: 250SF/1.56 = 160 plants or 5 trays of 32 plants. For denser plantings spaced at 12", your SF = # plants needed. Example: 10 x 25' area: 250SF = 250 plants

Dense plantings help to prohibit weeds and conserve moisture in the soil. As a general rule, spacing plants between 12" and 15" apart for most new garden plantings is a good idea.
