TESTIMONIALS

“Agnieszka has been looking after our gardens for 6 years. She created a beautiful garden in the front of the property including a rock wall. She transformed the “jungle” in front of our pool area into 2 beautiful corner gardens. In creating those gardens she transplanted some of my plants and purchased new ones to add to the gardens. Every year she looks after the weeding, composting, dividing, and mulching in all the garden areas. She also makes great creative suggestions for further additions to the gardens. We receive lots of compliments on our gardens but we cannot take any of the credit! Agnieszka is hard working, knowledgable and very reliable. We look forward to her welcoming Spring email each year.

“Agnieszka has been caring for our gardens for the past several years. Each summer the layout and content of our gardens are well thought out with very little guidance from us. We usually provide Agnieszka with general guidelines in terms of colours, and she takes care of the rest. Agnieszka’s creativity and her ability to capture our preferences results in beautiful gardens that are the envy of our friends and neighbours. She also maintains the gardens throughout the season with great pride and reliability. We are always extremely happy with the results and highly recommend her services to anyone looking to beautify their landscape.

“Agnieszka has been looking after my extensive gardens for 6 years and has transformed them into a work of art. Agnieszka changed one of the flower beds into a hosta garden with other complimentary plants which had to be compatible with the large tree and its roots which absorbed so much of the moisture. She is very knowledgeable about when and how to prune my large variety of plants and bushes and what kind of soil and moisture they need. She is very reliable and I would highly recommend her.
