"Sue brings to the job a profound respect for existing plants as well as a vast knowledge of indigenous plants that will thrive in a particular location. The plants she installs are obviously of excellent quality, but Sue stands behind her work just in case the weather takes a toll."

-L. Millman, Northampton

 

 

"Sue has always given great attention to detail, and her decisions about the selection and placement of all native plant materials in her designs are excellent."

-Paul Waite, Horticulturist and Owner, Riverview Nursery and Landscapes
