Testimonials

"What a great experience! Pamela provided such helpful advice. As a (very) inexperienced gardener, I did not know where to start. She recognized and respected my beginning skills, budget, and goals for attractive garden areas on my property. Her advice was clear and practical. She guided me through preparing the soil, selecting appropriate flowers, and requirements for those flowers to thrive. I could not have done all the work without her coaching. Thanks to Pamela, I had a beautiful landscape that served as a backdrop to a family wedding!"
