Malcolm "greenfingers"
Campbell is a member of the professional bodies: Australian Institute
of Horticulture, International Plant Propagators’ Society and qualified
in Ornamental Horticulture 25 years ago.
He provides an e-garden advisory service for a fee as well as
commercial consultations.
Malcolm does not do home garden site inspections.
E-garden advice:
If you can describe your soil type and pH reaction, aspect and sunlight
as well as any regional information, like closeness to the sea or any
other aspect that is pertinent, I can advise you on plant selection or how
to remedy a sick plant. You may be seeking that hard-to-find seed or plant
and given my extensive national contacts, I’m sure I can assist.
Sometimes I get asked to make a decision on radio that is too complex and
needs the security of this e-mail advice. Or you may be radio shy. You
have my word of total confidentiality in any enquiry.
What I am offering works like this: Send me your question(s) with a
full description of your site and the problem or difficulty. Then send
your credit card details, for which I will bill you a minimum fee of
$12.00 and if you only seek to know where to get a particular seed or
plant from, then I’ll forward you a large 220 gram bag of plastic labels
and a fade resistant marker pen for them, so you are assured that you are
getting value for money. For lengthy enquiries that involve some research
or additional information, I charge at $65 per hour pro-rata. If you
require a short response, tell me up front.
I ask that you send your credit card details to (08) 8357 9687 phone
and fax, rather then by unsecured e-mail.
Even my bankers will not endorse credit card details by e-mail, just yet.
I undertake to reply on-line and or forward goods in the mail within 48
hours, often much sooner.
Commercial consultation:
The scale of fees are $175 per hour plus G.S.T. for any part of an hour
for commercial site assessment or
horticultural supervision and documentation, court appearances and
preparation of planting schedules or native vegetation checklists for EIS
preparation. On assignments that require travel, the scale is $175 per
hour inclusive of all travel and invoiced monthly.
If you are unable to engage me at these fees and live within South
Australia, I suggest that you try ringing my radio talkback gardening show
on ABC Radio 891, at 10.05am Sunday mornings Phone 8343 4891 for local
callers in Adelaide or free call 1300 222 891 for both town and country.
