Amalur was so easy to communicate with and came right on time. Professional, knowledgeable, team player, gentle, positive, and an enjoyable, sweet, and pleasant garden buddy. She helped me review my garden with her eyes and mind as I re-work some plantings. Highly recommend her!!!

Karolina tackled beds that were in poor condition because of illness. In a few short weeks she has improved the bed quite noticeably. She is pleasant and knowledgeable. We hope she will do
our gardening for a long time

Karolina has helped bring some life and color to my property. I bought an old farmhouse that has been vacant for a while, maintained to the very minimal, pretty much lawn and some boxwoods; karolina helped me create and install several gardens, very pollinator friendly and it has been amazing to see the garden evolve through time and to see wildlife in my garden. She also provides maintenance services which is great as I don't always have time to tend to the garden.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We can meet prior to working together or we can jump into working right away. I’m very flexible and understand different clients have different preferences; some clients have very specific itineraries for when I go, some I haven’t even met, they hire me and I just go and tend to the gardens.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’m a master gardener and currently going to school for horticulture/landscape design
How did you get started doing this type of work?
After 10 years in accounting, I quit to focus more on my family and volunteered as a master gardener. I loved it so much that went back to school for horticulture and made plants my career
