Julie helped us plant a garden that perfectly suited us and our yard. Julie also planted a garden for the City of Jordan, MN. Her own yard, with its challenging slopes and lighting is amazing. Julie loves gardens, and it shows! Thom Boncher Jordan, MN

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each garden is unique and has different needs. The pricing varies depending on what needs to be done. I offer 100% customer satisfaction. If you are not happy with my services, you pay only what you think the job is worth.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initially, I try to learn as much as possible about the customer. I ask a lot of questions about their new and/or existing garden. If the customer is interested in garden design, I invite them to my home for an initial consultation and a tour of my gardens. Understanding the customer allows me to get a picture of what is most important to them. After the initial consultation, I create a garden design plan specific to their gardening needs. We would then discuss different options and I would explain the process on how to accomplish the project.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
10+ years of on-going horticulture education & training at the University of MN.
