"Liz has made an incredible transformation of my yard. In a little less than two years she has taken my yard from a wasteland of prickly weeds and horsetail to a thriving woodland garden in the front, and a sunny garden in the back. Her knowledge of plants and natural gardening is impressive. My yard always looks amazing when she and her crew are done."
