Siedeh is completely amazing! She has a keen eye for beauty, and I truly appreciate the care with which she arranges a garden for my own benefit as well as the plants and the soil. Every spring for the past 8 years, I have hired her to build the garden in my small patio, and each year she creates a work of art. She works with me to decide the combinations of colors and types of plants, then designs a plan that will work with the lighting, condition of the soil, circumstance of the family dog needing toilet space, etc. On the day that she builds the garden, she involves my children and teaches them about caring for the Earth. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Siedeh and her work!

The Alternative Horticulturalist's reply

Hello Milton, I am really sorry you feel this way and I wish we had an opportunity to chat about why you felt the need to review me as such. We never were able to look at your garden and you never replied to my voicemail or responses to your message reaching out for a gardener. I hope despite your disappointment in me, you were able to find someone to help you care for your garden.
