Book with Secret Circus

Things that grow. Reasons to gather.

Secret Circus is a small working farm in North Austin, and the home of two other things you can book: Dead Plants Society events and Mr. Alex Sunshine's music for kids. Pick what you're looking for.

Garden and flock consulting

Want chickens? Dreaming of a garden that survives a Texas August? Stephanie comes to your place, looks at your sun, soil, water, and space, and helps you plan something that fits your actual life. She can also meet you at the nursery or feed store to help choose plants and birds, so you start with ones suited to Central Texas.

  • Site visit: $195 flat. Two hours at your place, plus a one page plan for what to do first.

  • Nursery and feed store trips: $85 to $100 an hour, with a 2 hour minimum.

  • Coached build days: you build your coop or beds, and Stephanie guides you. $85 to $100 an hour, with a 2 hour minimum.

  • Site visits within about 15 minutes of North Austin.

  • You leave with clear next steps, not a lecture.
