We hired Gardens of Eatin' to turn our driveway into a patio and garden and they did not disappoint. Their vision of what the space could be was more than I could've imagined and we are so thrilled with how it turned out.

My daughter and I were so happy to have picked Gardens of Eatin landscaping with Vanya and her excellent crew, to create our special meditation garden. It just glows with peace and serenity, with flowers and herbs to attract birds butterflies and bees. Her wonderful crew took special care with each plant and stone placement, that I know a lot of love went into it. Thank you so much so much for your wonderful energy and my beautiful garden.

What a pleasure it was working with Anna to curate and plan our edible yard! She helped us bring in pollinators so that our gardens would flourish and they sure did. I cant recommend her enough if you are looking for someone who is professional, knowledgeable and able to work within a budget. We cant wait to have her back again!

After seeing their work at my daughter in laws house, I was so impressed, we hired her for consulting. We already had some food growing and some ornamentals. She was able to tell us how to better manage and expand with a 2hr consulting session. I walked away feeling confident in both food and flowers. Looking forward to working with Anna more.
