Contained Joy"Thanks for your follow up. I loved working with you! I finally feel like I know what I am doing in the garden."
Heather Bauer - Seattle, WA



Contained Joy "I loved my time with you! You were a huge help and I love your ideas! I told my parents that all I want for Christmas is garden time with you."
K. Byrne - Federal Way, WA



Contained Joy "...thank you for all of the information you gave us on Saturday. I had no idea we would get so much useful information (from a garden mentor). We both just walked in the house after you left and said "wow" wasn't that a great couple of hours. Mark had suggested that we talk to a consultant to get some ideas but I had this idea of "I want to do it all myself" and had dug my heels in the dirt on this one. I finally realized that I could still do it but some direction was needed. You had some great ideas and I liked that they were very specific. I realized after you left why some spots just didn't seem right to me and now I know how to change them. Your ideas fit really well with what we would like the garden to look like."
Michele & Mark Redland, Woodinville, WA


Contained Joy"Robin the owner of Garden Mentors, created the perfect plan for our yard. She listened to our needs and came up with a plan that exceeded our dreams. It has it all, privacy, a place for our daughter to play and a nice area our dog can call home. Robin is down to earth and really listens to what you want. Robin's design allowed us to do the work in phases, allowing us to contract out the large difficult tasks and do the rest ourselves. We also used Robin's Mentor service as we learned the proper way to plant, space, and care for our new yard. The experience has been wonderful.
Jason Domanico - Seattle, WA


A Relaxing Space "Garden Mentors provided us with a very thorough landscape design for our entire property. After meeting with and surveying my wife and I regarding our vision for our yard, Robin created a design that exceeded our expectations. Her design incorporated our desire for increased privacy, year round color, drought-tolerance, and northwest native plants. Robin (Garden Mentors owner) spent hours in preparation for meeting with us, poring through books to find plants that suited our taste and flagging them to make it easier for us to review. Because of our inexperience, Robinguided every aspect of the process,from the design itself to the installation -- selecting the plants, placing them where they should be planted, and monitoring their progress. We highly recommend her!"
Mark Putnam & Kelly Ryan - Ballard, WA


I wasn't sure if you (Garden Mentors) were able to see the finished product on the bed you designed [For Carkeek Parks Environmental Learning Center]....I tore through it and followed your design I think it looks fabulous! I have been bragging about your design to whoever will listen. I have to copy your card and hand it out
Nancie Jaramillo, Carkeek Park Resource Maintenance Lead


"I don't know a thing about plants and have a great aversion to maintenance and watering in general. Garden Mentors took all of this into consideration when designing a new garden for me. They helped me set a theme for the garden, and even helped me donate plants that didn't fit. Now I have fantastic low-maintenance flowers and grasses that all work together. Thanks!
Shelley McIntyre, Magnolia, WA
