Tom did a terrific job planning and planting big containers for our back deck. He chose unusual varieties and added color and interest to our backyard. We will absolutely hire him again!

Tom was phenomenal! He listened to my needs and made some terrific suggestions; even managed to work with a color pallet of plants I had in mind. He was punctual, communicated with me throughout the whole planning experience and the finished product far exceeded my expectations. Do not hesitate to call this super talented man; you will be very glad you did!
