I would like to get some help with landscape architecture, advice how to arrange the garden in optimal way, choose right plants to plant. I will work physically as well and assist the realisation of the project.

I just need to make new websites and transfer the database from the old site to new one. Also would like to get help to arrange online payment or donation receiving module integrated into the websites.
