Gardens by Ruth

Ruth and her team transformed my Gardens over many years. Once rock ledge and weeds, my gardens became a thriving terraced perennial garden on the east side, a shade garden on the north, and an English garden on the South. She cares deeply about the earth she transforms focusing on natural techniques and native plants. I could not recommend her more highly.

We have worked with Ruth and team (shout out to Riley!) to go from a desolate, empty dustbowl of a front dirt patch, to a thriving native friendly, perennial oasis. It's chaotic and whimsical in equal measure, exactly what we wanted. They've also helped with some other plantings around our yard. Very responsive, beautiful work.

We loved Ruth’s work and we loved working with her and her crew. We hired her to put in a garden to fill the L-shaped plot in front and along the side of our corner house. There were a few plants and shrubs left from a previous garden and a small tree to work around. Ruth was knowledgeable, responsive, and a good communicator in the conversations we had about our priorities. She selected a wonderful mix of plants and was instructive about their needs and characteristics. Ruth and her crew worked hard and efficiently to install the garden, and replant a bit when rabbits destroyed a number of plantings as they began to flower. (It was an unusually tough year with rabbits). Ruth and her crew were a pleasure to have around. I’d hire her again and have, to maintain the garden this year.

We've been working with Ruth for a few years now. She transformed our front garden from a drab few plants to a wonderful mix of local plants and flowers. We have beautiful blooms all season long and regularly have folks stop to take pictures. It brings us and the neighborhood so much joy, and Ruth + team are great to work with. Highly recommended!

Ruth is truly exceptional. Her knowledge of plants is extraordinary and she's incredibly skilled at designing a whole but taking exceptional care with each part. She and her team give consistent care to my gardens, in every season. I was thrilled to have her advice on native plants and pollinators, and the colors and blooms those plants bring are a pleasure for months and months. I unreservedly recommend Gardens By Ruth!
