Ava Gardener Landscape Design Studio

When I bought my West Seattle cottage in 1991 the yard was beautiful. 15+ years and several renters later I had pretty much taken out all the plants for ease of care as a rental property. After moving back in and paying a lot of money for a yard plan with plants I either could not find or that actually did not work, I was depressed about and had very little interest in my yard as it was bare and sad. Then, ALONG CAME AVA!!! Within a couple of hours I was hopeful and inspired! I have a way to go before my entire yard is finished but it is a work in progress and as money permits I am once again, loving my yard! Not only did Ava have wonderful ideas from the minute she stepped into my yard, but she listened to my ideas and/or suggestions, so that in the end it was more of a collaborative effort. Ava continues to help me as I need via email. Her sensitivity to my budget constraints has enabled me to stay well within it. It was evident from the first minute that Ava is passionate, loves what she does and loves to share it. I have enthusiastically recommended Ava to my friends, as everyone who has seen the progress loves it too! For me Ava is a God send!!!
