About
My focus is on the your experience in your garden. What do you want from your garden? I am a life long gardener and teach/coordinate Master Gardeners. I am also the director of the People’s Harvest garden in Pomfret CT, which is a volunteer garden which donates all produce grown to local kitchens that serve those in need.
Whether you need a full garden installed, a garden mentor to give you guidance, or just need maintenance help, I would enjoy discussing your project.
I also offer Handyman / Home improvement services. I have maintained rental properties and commercial properties for the past 19 years. I am available for the multitude of functions that come under the heading of handyman. Repairs to sheet-rock, deck repair, painting, cleaning etc etc. I would be happy to evaluate your projects.

Highly recommend John for your handyman needs. We hired John because we just moved into a new house and we are selling our old house and we needed a bunch of odd jobs done. John was excellent - super responsive, friendly, and did a great job with everything we needed. Installed a dog door, towel racks, broken window panes, painted a metal railing and stabilized it, installed a mailbox post, fixed an outlet, installed another and a bunch of other things...every job was well done.

John has completed multiple projects in our quirky old house over the winter, including carpentry (closets, drywall, new pantry), extensive painting, light electrical work, and other projects both large and small. He can do anything, and does it well. He always goes above and beyond. John is honest and you can trust him with your property and also with your dogs (ours love him). Is there any higher complement? We look forward to John’s continued involvement as we make our new house a home. Don’t hesitate to hire John for any of your handyman needs!
Details: Residential • No, I need help buying plants • As needed • Leaf cleanup
