Thriving Gardens, Happy Clients

It was a genuine joy working with Candace and her team. This included the initial in-person meeting, the professional back and forth discussions needed to create a master plan, and ultimately the hands-on building of our dream gardens. The work also included detailed drawings and descriptions of the proposed plants (and their care). When there were concerns over some of the plants these concerns were promptly addressed. The work in question involved replacing a large percentage of our (~1/2 acre of boring and environmentally unfriendly) lawn with several beautiful perennial gardens and a spectacular raised garden for growing vegetables. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend her to others!

– Craig, Manotick

Our yard had become wild and unruly, fence to fence plants that were being overrun and choked out by ground cover plants and weeds. We asked Candace to replace all this with a low-maintenance garden. Her team removed plants we wanted to keep, then dug down deep and cleared the yard of everything else. Candace planned the garden so we would have something blossoming throughout the growing season, and with very little care. A crew member returned a few days later to walk us through the Spring and Fall care for each plant. Candace and her crew reflected their love of gardening and readily shared their knowledge. Very hard working and very professional, the crew completed the project in 2 days, and left the yard spotless.
