"Rose worked for 3 years as our live-in property manager and estate gardener for our 5-acre West County site.  During this time, she lovingly cared for our vineyard, orchard, perennial beds, and abundant seasonal vegetable beds.  She managed greenhouse propagation and plant installation, maintained irrigation, handled pest and disease issues, and created seasonal maintenance plans for us. We highly recommend Rose!"

Rose’s plant selection and planting were thoughtful and well-executed. Collaborating with her was easy and engaging. She brought strong ideas without overriding mine. The result exceeds what I thought was possible given the small size of my outdoor space.

I appreciate sincerely her great care of my property.

”We have been working with Rose for over a year to enhance our garden and yard. Numerous neighbors highly recommended her, and we have loved working with her. She was attentive to our goals of privacy and a calming space for our family. She provided a vision of the garden and a list of native and drought-tolerant plants. She organized the installation and continued to offer ideas to improve the space. This is a journey to get to the garden and yard we envision. We are enjoying the fruits of her labors and ideas as the plants start to grow.”

“Rose didn't choose the gardener life, the gardener life chose her. That's what it feels like when we work together. I have complete faith in her judgement when it comes to what is best for my garden. She is very good at giving me the lay of the land and developing suitable courses of action. Gardens are dynamic, living systems, and Rose understands the nuance in tending to them with considerable skill.”

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Rose for years on both our front and back garden projects. She has supported us through every stage—design, installation, and ongoing maintenance—with skill and care. Over time, she has become more than a landscape professional; she feels like a trusted garden confidante—someone we can problem-solve with, learn from, and collaborate alongside.

Time spent with Rose in the garden is genuinely joyful, marked by creativity, ease, laughter, and inspiration. She brings a reflective, calm, and curious presence, listening deeply to understand your vision and thoughtfully helping bring it to life.

We recommend Rose without hesitation and feel truly grateful for her expertise, support, and partnership in creating our beloved outdoor sanctuaries.
