“It was a pleasure working with you at our home. You have given us such joy as we look upon your creations of color with nature. The birds, lizards and butterflies have a real haven and we will get lots of enjoyment watching them. Please also thank Jesus for his great work and professionalism. You two make a great team in transforming yards into gardens of beauty, wonder and peacefulness.” -- Carol and Joe P., Santa Paula

"Hi Lisa. Today was a stressful day for me. But Brian and I took a stroll in the garden and as we oohed and aahed at all the little guys and gals that found their home in the ground, a lot of the stress was taken away. The garden looks beautiful. I have told Brian that I don't want to refer to it as a 'yard' any more. I can hardly wait to find out what you have in store for the front yard-to-be garden." -- Hilda C., Thousand Oaks

“We are VERY impressed with everyone you’ve brought into the project.

"Lisa, the front yard you designed five years ago is still totally amazing. People still ooh and aaah. I see it when I leave the house and first thing when I get back home - and it just delights me no end. Thank you so much for giving me this - really a dream come true!" -- Mariaemma PW, Ventura

“Had to tell you that last night I had five neighborhood children asking questions about our beautiful garden. It gave me the opportunity to give a little talk about trees, native plants, and garden insects. Thanks so much! We love our garden.” -- Carol P., Newbury Park

“Looking at my rapidly aging mother today enjoying her brunch at our home. My heart swelled once again with gratitude that I have gotten to have her for so long. We lost my dad's last sister this morning. Bittersweet. My mother kept on going into the back garden Lisa. She said 20 times at least ‘how beautiful it is’. She is right. Thank You.” -- Delia G., Ventura

“What a lovely time -- the garden is stunning, so thanks to you for getting us started.” -- Lynn W., Ventura
