Customer Reviews

Cailla Quinn

Jen is an incredibly thoughtful and intuitive designer who was such a pleasure to work with. Her eye for detail and creative problem solving made her stand out compared to other consultations I had. I wanted a very natural and wild feel to my garden with as many native plants as possible. It was also important that my garden provided winter interest and evolved with the seasons and Jen did just that! I’d highly recommend Gardener on the Hill to anyone who is looking to enhance their green space and wants to work with one on one with a bespoke gardening company that cares. Thanks so much!

Professional and creative. Took my yard and created a beautiful garden from start to finish. Design options, suggestions and solutions that exceeded our expectations! We love our garden!

William P Clement

We recently linked up with Jen and her team @ Gardener on the Hill. And our experience has been nothing but amazing. We have a small woodworking/carpentry division and have been lucky enough to be part of some very unique designs and projects that wouldn’t have been possible without their vision and design expertise. Excited to see what the future brings. Highly recommend!
