Being a novice gardener, I’ve been discouraged with the appearance of my garden over the years, as well as frustrated at the amount of time and energy required to maintain it. Kathy visited me at my home and began by suggesting changes that would better accommodate the shade patterns in my yard. Recognizing that I’m not someone who wants to labor in the flower beds all day, she suggested solutions that have simplified my garden, making it easier to maintain - and it actually looks better! For once, I find myself excited for the upcoming growing season. Kathy’s approach was personalized for me and my yard, and I appreciated that she was not one bit judgmental. Her support gave me the incentive and courage to make the necessary changes in my garden. Thank you Kathy!
