Testimonials from Past Clients
"Michele was instrumental in making our wedding a success. We held the wedding at our home and hired The Purple Garden to redesign and plant the landscaping for our front and backyard. Michele came to our home and met with us on several occasions to discuss design options, plant types, likes, dislikes and how to care for our new plants and shrubs. Michele was professional, easy to work with and cost effective. She even came in under our established budget. She did a fabulous job and our landscaping for the wedding was beautiful. Plus we have the added long term benefit of a gorgeous backyard area that we can spend our time in with friends and family." - Heather and Mike Wolfe
"Michele's vision for gardens and all things alive and colorful is unique and inspiring: her knowledge of herbs, plants, flowers, trees, with a focus on natives and edibles, is vast and detailed, while her aesthetic for garden design no matter the venue, season, or spatial challenges, always fits. Michele is also an exceptional teacher, sharer of knowledge and process, in her home herbalist classes. She creates an interactive, dynamic, intimate setting for her students to play and learn along with her, while teaching us to create our own herbal marvels." - Eve Connell
"Michele designed a garden for me of mostly native plants with a few roses and perennials tucked in that would fulfill the goal of providing good habitat for birds and pollinators in a long, thin corner lot. She was very patient with my endless suggestions of plants, incorporating as many as would fit within the limitations of the site and the overall design. She’s a wonderful listener, an extremely good communicator and has access to great outside resources, such as a top notch fence builder. The design plan itself is a beautiful piece of art and her vision for plant combinations and overall look is amazing." - Carol Baumann
