Introduction

I have a passion for horticulture! After spending over a decade studying and working in the field, I decided to venture out on my own. My goal is to create beautiful, low-maintenance gardens for homeowners. As a one-woman gardener, I provide basic services such as weeding, mulching, pruning small bushes and trees, and designing, installing, and adding to small-scale gardens. I can help you achieve your dream garden without the burden of complex maintenance!

From initial conversation to execution of the work, Ila was great. She was very responsive and patient with any question I had, provided a great quote and did an even better job bringing our garden beds back to life. It is clear that she loves what she does and you won’t be disappointed.

I have a small garden that was full of weeds, but I couldn't tell what was weed and what wasn't. Aila helped me identify the weeds and also gave me tips on some easy cleanup I could do on my own.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The cost of your garden service depends on the specific tasks involved. This can include picking up and delivering plants, travel time to and from your location, fertilizer, weed prevention, chemical applications and other services you request.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step is easy: send me some photos of your space! Often, with just a few pictures, I can get a good feel for what you're working with and start crafting a plan. We can chat about your vision - what kind of vibe are you going for? Relaxing retreat? A generic yet beautiful landscape? Once we're on the same page, I'll whip up a rough estimate and a timeline, so you know what to expect. The best part? My designs are built for low-maintenance, so you can enjoy your beautiful garden without the hassle. Sound good? Let's get started!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I trained as a horticulturist in 3 different schools. Western Montgomery County Technical School - Environmental Design Longwood Gardens - Professional Gardener Program Temple University - Bachelors of Science - Horticulture
