Gwen has been managing our garden for a couple years now and we would Strongly recommend her. She is professional, creative and responsive. Gwen has created some beautiful spaces in our yard including an herb garden that we use all summer/spring. Highly recommend
I engaged Gwen's Gardening to maintain what seems like miles of existing perennial beds, but the work has now extended into creating new beds, pruning, etc., etc. Gwen is easy to work with, knowledgable and full of ideas, and extremely hard working. I couldn't recommend her and her crew highly enough!
It’s hard for me to put my vision for my gardens into words. Gwen knew the questions to ask to make sure she understood what I was imagining. She suggested plants, layouts, structures, etc. until we were sure we had it right. She sent pictures and listened to all of my feedback. She knew I wanted native plants that would attract and benefit bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. She took the time to make sure it would be perfect. In doing so, she transformed a scrubby, overgrown area in the front of my house into a beautiful, peaceful, and slightly whimsical sanctuary to relax in and walk through. I could not be happier with it. Gwen has a wealth of knowledge and experience but also an artistic eye. She is an incredibly hard worker. I have 2 large areas right in front of my house where there are many perennials growing but something about them is just not pleasing to my eye. I’m looking forward to having Gwen re-design these areas for me this summer.
Gwen is a very meticulous worker and goes the extra mile to make everything look perfect. She has great ideas for landscaping and knows her plants. I highly recommend Gwen's Gardening for the care of your existing gardens or to create new ones. She has a great eye for detail!
Gwen is fantastic! She is knowledgeable, thoughtful, hard working, and loves what she does, which is to make yards and streets blossom and bloom. Anyone who is starting a garden or needs to comb out rough spots or wants to hear the latest on pollinator-friendly, and native species-friendly gardening should give Gwendolyn's Gardening a call. She started several new beds for us last summer and fall, and I look forward to seeing them come back to life soon.
