“It was a real pleasure working with Heather. She was able to distill our long garden wish-lists into a detailed and creative design that incorporated many sustainable aspects we had not considered, like rain water collection and perennial fruit plants. She oversaw the implementation of the design and was able to create our dream garden from scratch under budget and on time.”

 Carillo garden year two Heather has transformed our garden into a beautiful welcoming, easily maintained environment that welcomes many of our local birds and butterflies.  We are happy knowing these wild creatures can enjoy our garden without risk of pesticide poisoning!   It was not just our garden that has been transformed, but also our attitude towards gardening. We learned that – when you do it right the first time – the maintenance is so much easier. Being busy executives, we also wanted everything now. So, the biggest lesson we really took away from the whole experience was the importance of patience. The pleasure is in the journey, not the destination. Transformation is ongoing, and each season, and every year, the garden grows and changes just like we do.”

“Heather helped us create a beautiful garden that demands little time and water and is full of beautiful west coast native plants. We’re very happy with the way it turned out!”
