Testimonials

  • “It has been wonderful working with Dawn on our garden. We work side-by-side in spring and fall, learning tips about how to care for each plant, developing my skills under her sage advice and guidance. She works hard and her enthusiasm is contagious! I look forward to each work session. Working with Dawn has really transformed my relationship with my garden; I feel more confident and courageous.“

    Micheala, Alington MA

  • "Dawn covered all the bases at my house. She transformed my flower garden, moved it toward drought tolerant native plantings, and introduced me to the world of urban veggie gardening. I now have 21 native plants that support 43 moth, butterfly and bee species. She is a delight and I look forward to working with Dawn again this summer and sampling more delicious recipes from my garden."

    Judith, Somerville, MA

  • "Dawn has been helping me keep up with my perennial shade garden. She advises and supports me with planting perennials, shrubs and in the fall bulbs, as well as tending to my garden when needed. I always enjoy our discussion and can approach her with gardening questions, gaining a fuller understanding of the specifics of indivdual plants including native plants, conditions needed for them to thrive and how to be environmentally conscious. It is delightful working with her and to have her reliable support and knowledge."
