Gardener in Toronto, Ontario

I'm an
Individual
My philosophy in terms of both design and maintenance is to create artful landscapes for humans and animals alike. My approach to garden design is both practical and fanciful, borrowing from artistic principles of color, pattern, composition and texture and also a horticultural understanding built on years of taking care of plants watching them thrive in various conditions. I focus on flora and fauna over hardscaping, a direction which tends to be more budget-friendly. My gardens reflect the unique personalities of their owners as much as they do my artistic vision—offering colour and variety, sound and scent throughout the seasons. I always try to keep ecological principles at the forefront of our maintenance practice. From electric tools, to bio-friendly pest reduction, to sustainable fertilizers (no synthetics or peat), to leaving stems for insects to overwinter in spring and fall and using leaves and debris as natural mulch, we strive to tread lightly on the earth. For us, maintenance is more than cleaning, pruning, and deadheading, it's a chance to take stock of your garden's overall health and ensure it's headed in the right direction. I've worked for a number of top landscaping companies in Toronto and have studied horticulture at Humber College. You can find examples of my work at www.....com

Recommendations

Rebecca C is fantastic! I tried two other gardeners before her, both of whom were much less skilled than they claimed to be. So finding Rebecca -- well, she found me, actually -- was a true gift. She knows her plants! She knows how to work without supervision, but also knows when to ask questions. She's smart, focussed, organized, and reliable. And she can even work mid-day in the hot Toronto sun. I recommend her without reservation.
