Testimonials
“I contacted Heather Roth of The Blooming Gardener in the Autumn to do a complete redesign and installation with respect to both the front and back gardens of my house in Halifax. This was my first experience with such an extensive outdoor renovation and I can say without hesitation that it was a positive experience. Working with Heather on the design and plant choices was a true collaboration and I am delighted with the results. I am particularly pleased with the limestone patio and raised beds in the back. The backyard now is a natural extension of the living space of the house in a way that the old yard was not. What Heather implemented was exactly what I had hoped to achieve and it was all done on schedule and on budget.”

“We had a small urban garden, but were unhappy with the design-it just never looked appealing. Heather rearranged our existing plants, and made some interesting additions which resulted in a very attractive design. Besides being hardworking and reliable, Heather has the unique ability to listen and incorporate your ideas into the garden plan. It was a pleasure to work with her.”

“Heather is my Garden Angel. We have many and very large gardens that were overwhelming to us. Too much to handle on our own and, especially, when our garden knowledge is limited and our enthusiasm for the task even less. She took time to understand the nature of what we needed and could budget for and has continued to work with us over the past few years to make not only the gardens beautiful but as easy to maintain as possible. Not only does she get the job done but she is an absolute delight to work with!”

“Our street is typical of Halifax, and the dense tree cover on the street makes it impossible to grow anything in the front yard – or so we thought. From the moment we met Heather, she filled us with confidence and her enthusiasm for the job was infectious. She prepared a landscape design of low maintenance, hardy perennials that worked in the few existing plants we already had. Additionally, she proposed a redesign of a back garden which would allow us to plant our own vegetable bed.
Heather listened carefully to our wants and needs and gave us more than we hoped for. Heather also followed-up throughout the summer to ensure the garden’s success and even came back in the fall to prepare the plants for the winter.
Heather’s hard work and professionalism were so apparent she attracted the attention of our neighbours, two of whom subsequently hired her for their own projects. Her knowledge, experience, creativity and work ethic allow us to recommend her with the assurance that her clients will always be satisfied.”
