Verified record
Doveflower Cottage Designs is a Scituate, Massachusetts garden design and maintenance practice led by Susan Leigh Anthony. Houzz lists garden design and garden maintenance, while a South Shore news profile described her as having run the garden design business for 40 years. Anthony is described as a horticulturist, Master Gardener, perennial buyer, and native-plant expert. The available profile also lists a Massachusetts Master Gardener credential and an NEFS award, with typical work priced at $80–$100 per hour and assistant work at $50 per hour. The practice appears suited to homeowners seeking garden planning, planting knowledge, and ongoing garden care. Confirm the specific design or maintenance scope, hourly rate, and schedule before booking. Houzz currently shows no customer reviews, so the available public record speaks more to the owner’s background and services than to a documented customer track record.
