Ekobang

Garden designer

Hanna Hofman-Bang is a trained gardener and the founder of Ekobang, a garden design studio, with a long experience of guiding and helping people with their gardens.

For Hanna it is important to understand and combine what the customer wants and what the outdoor space wants and then bring those elements together into a whole. Whether it’s a garden consultation or a complete garden design, she always works on nature’s terms and strives for diversity in plants and pollinators.

In each project Hanna starts with looking at the problems and wishes of the client. It can be a newly purchased, empty plot of land, or a client that does not know where to start. Or, it can be as simple as just providing some inspiration and ideas!

A garden consultation with Hanna always includes how you can create a sustainable garden. Sustainable for both the client and nature. A garden that is adapted to your needs and your wishes. Created to suit the environment and the conditions of that particular space

“I want to inspire you to spend more in your garden and to use it all year round. Whether it’s about standing with your hands in the soil, picking flowers or sunbathing on the balcony I want to de-dramatize gardening and make it easier for you to spend time and enjoy in your garden.”

Common questions

How does a consultation work?

All consultations take place via video calls in Google Meet. Before your consultation, you will receive a calendar invitation with a link via email leading to your video meeting. In the meeting you will be able to show your home/room/garden and talk to your advisor and share your thoughts and concerns.

Should I prepare for my consultation?

Before your consultation, you will receive a guide from us that will clearly show you how to prepare in the best possible way. The best consultations are those where the customer has prepared and knows which questions they want answered.

Of course, your preparation can be as minimal or thorough as you feel is necessary to achieve your goals with the consultation. We suggest putting together a simple document or presentation that includes photos of the spaces you need help with and questions you want answered.

You will also be able to upload information like inspirational pictures, furniture that you like or floor plans/drawings. It is totally up to you what kind of information you want to upload. Your adviser will be able to review this information before the meeting with you.

If you have further questions about how to prepare, please contact us at booking@talkto-official.com

How do I show my advisor my home?

As the meeting takes place via video (Google Meet) which you can use on your mobile phone, laptop or tablet, the idea is that you film your space during the meeting so that the adviser can see and give advice directly.

Before the meeting, you will also be able to upload pictures and your questions so that the adviser can prepare. It is also possible to share images and other material with each other during the video meeting itself.

How do I pay for a consultation?

Payment is made securely by card when booking a consultation. Just like when you buy an item of clothing in a webshop.

Can I contact my booked advisor before the meeting and tell them what I want to talk about?

You will not be able to contact or discuss directly with your advisor before the consultation.

However, when you book your appointment, you can write a short note to your advisor and explain what you want to talk about. After booking your consultation, you will also have the opportunity to provide your expert with additional information about your project and your questions.

You will also be able to upload files (presentations, images, floor plans, etc.) that the advisor can look at before the consultation and that you can review together during your consultation.

Will the expert send me documents such as drawings and mood boards after the consultation?

Talk To is a service based around video consultations. A little bit like KRY and Mindler. This means that all communication with your Expert takes place during the meeting and no deliverables in the form of drawings or mood boards are sent to you afterwards. 

If, on the other hand, you would like to order a larger project from your Expert, after the consultation, which means that the Expert will do work for you outside the platform, that is of course fine.
