Cailla Quinn on Gardener on the Hill

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!

William P Clement on Gardener on the Hill

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!

Suzanne Boxer on Gardener on the Hill

Jen truly is a garden whisperer! She transformed our small city dirt plots into gorgeous gardens that surprise us from early spring through late fall with thoughtfully arranged native plants and flowers. Passersby are always sharing accolades and taking pictures. When we travel, one of the things we look forward to most on returning is seeing how the garden has transformed while we've been away. Jen is a pleasure to work with. She spends time to teach us how to care for our gardens and is always available when we need help with larger spring and fall cleanups. We highly recommend her!

Lucia Mudd on Gardener on the Hill

It is such a pleasure to work with Jen on any outdoor planting projects. Jen is so strong!!! At the same time she has a wonderfully delcate touch in the garden. Her suggestions always involve such graceful additions. She created a spiral from old bricks I didn't know what to do with! And made a beautiful trellis of branches and copper wire for the clematis out front. It's been up at least 5 years and holding up beautifully!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Many projects prioritize native and regionally adapted plants to support pollinators and provide seasonal interest. Plant selections are tailored to site light, soil, and maintenance preferences. The goal is a resilient garden that looks good and functions well.

Site visits are commonly used to understand your goals and the property’s conditions. During a consultation, you can discuss ideas, budget considerations, and maintenance needs. Follow-up may include concept notes or a proposal for a design plan, depending on scope.

Simple, garden-scaled elements may be included in the design, such as trellis concepts, edging ideas, or reuse of found materials. For larger construction needs, designs can be coordinated with appropriate trade partners. Recommendations are made to fit the site and overall aesthetic.

Reach out with your location, a brief description of your project, and preferred timeline. An initial call or message can determine fit and next steps. From there, you can schedule a site visit and develop a design scope that matches your goals.
