Get Dirty and Grow!
“Seed and Sow Gardens provided me with results that are worthy of a magazine cover! Try to imagine walking up your driveway to the most shocking before- and -after photo you can dream of.
It is so much more than I could have ever imagined!
When I first showed kAren the areas needing attention I said “I don’t know what I want, but this ain’t it.”
I had no vision. I had no plan. I didn’t know what was in the realm of possibility. Even if I had the time in my day to make this magic appear I don’t have the skill, the knowledge or the back-strength to do all that kAren did.
And once complete, she continues to follow up, checks in, and advises on maintenance.
kAren also removed strangling vines, weeds and overgrowth and in its place she made a metaphor for our home:
Vibrant and Alive, Built with Love and Full of Beauty.”

“kAren has done a beautiful job in our yard! She has refreshed tired and rather drab areas into beautiful welcoming areas.
Her eye for design, color, and texture has really made a difference in the overall look of our outdoor spaces! We also gave her a couple of very large areas to use her creativity in creating interest where there was none! One of the areas was around our pool where she created sun and sky plantings with bright blues and oranges that compliment the turquoise water. It’s lovely!
She also took out a large area of grass and replaced it with hydrangeas, candytuft, daffodils, and other interesting plants surrounded by rocks. It’s gorgeous! Even though we have done most of our own gardening in the past, we gave free rein to kAren and her helpers at our present home! We love what she and her helpers have created for us!
Thanks so much kAren! We really appreciate you for all you have done for us!”

“kAren is awesome to work with. She is not only smart and creative, she is a joy to be around. She is truly very gifted at what she does.
I have never worked with someone who is a steward for the process and creativity but also a steward for the budget. She watches out for her clients and only wants the best for them. I completely trust her with the budget and she goes out of her way to make sure we stay on track.
I am thrilled with the work she is doing for me and can't wait to show off my garden when it is all done.
If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!!!!”

“kAren is knowledgeable and creative.
I don’t have to tell her what’s going on in my small garden - she knows before I do!
She cares about each plant in the garden and we text between her visits if she thinks of something I could do to help with their health.”

“Because I am aging out of the ‘on -my -knees’ gardening I used to do, I was so glad to find kAren!
She trims things for me and they don’t look like they got a buzz cut from the barber shop!
When my perennials need moving because they need more sun or shade, she does it with great care, and often makes suggestions of where one of my plants might be happier. And when I want to change things up a bit, she is always thoughtful about the solutions, knowing that I want things to look happy and natural in their space.
kAren seems to be a lifelong learner, often doing research on things that interest me for my yard and making suggestions. And I really love that I can get kAren to come when I want or need her, rather than every single week or month.
She is a creative, very smart and very hardworking addition to my gardening life! I am always so happy after she has been here to do her magic, because she makes everything look healthy, natural and well tended.
Thank you, kAren! “

“From our initial contact to the end of our project, kAren proved to be extremely knowledgeable, reliable and overall amazing! I appreciated kAren’s reliability; always showing up on scheduled days and times. She demonstrated a strong work ethic by the amount of time and energy she gave to our project, as well as always cleaning up after each visit, even when she was scheduled to come back the following day. While working with kAren, I found her to be very positive and willing to listen to my needs and concerns.
When I expressed my desire to learn how to correctly trim my plants and how to better care for them, kAren was up for the challenge. She answered all my questions and informed me of things I might consider to improve their health. The best part was she took the time to educate me, never making me feel embarrassed or inept.
kAren created an amazing structure for plants to grow on to hide our pool equipment, she relocated and added lovely plants that would thrive in our soil and helped us repurpose pots to add charm to our backyard. She also laid down new drip irrigation to adequately water our plants and she instructed us how to run the various zones. I especially appreciated the fact that at the end of each work day, kAren would discuss with us the next steps of the project needing to be completed.If you want a knowledgeable, enthusiastic professional to help you create the yard of your dreams, I highly recommend hiring kAren Gostlin!”
