Working in my garden with Louise Woodstock Gardens is an unmitigated joy!

Louise herself is an extraordinary garden design and horticultural talent. She and her team have helped me to transform my garden into one which brings me joy every day. She is also a fantastic teacher. I  continue to learn from her, not only about matters strictly horticultural, but also about how gardening heals the spirit as well as the environment. I am a better gardener and person because of her. I am grateful for her gardening fellowship!

We are thrilled with the result!

When I moved into my house, my small sloped Borough backyard had been neglected and arranged over the years in what felt like a haphazard, inhospitable and incongruous space. As a result, I never was drawn to spend time in the yard, patio or deck. When I happened on Louise's annual plant sale in her backyard, I got a glimpse of what could be. We hired Louise to re-envision and replant our entire backyard, and front and side beds. Nearly everything was removed and replanted. She worked with us to find out how we wanted to use the yard, suggested plants and worked on an action plan that worked for us. Over the (very hot) summer, she checked in regularly and gave us advice on how to keep the young plants thriving in the heat. We are thrilled with the result. The yard now feels welcoming and verdant. And, my family and I have spent much more time outside this year than ever before–which we credit to Louise's transformation. We look forward to working with her going forward to continue to shape and nurture our outdoor space.

I've never felt this positive about my outdoor space, and I have only Louise to thank for that.

Working with Louise has been an absolute joy! She has brought balance to both my attitude toward gardening and to my physical garden. When I needed encouragement and motivation, she provided it. Louise was decisive when I was wavering, and yet always open minded to my ideas. The garden is well on it's way to being a perfect balance of formal and natural; and more importantly, perfect for me.

Louise has taught me the joy of gardening, and put it within my reach.

I’m a beginner, and Louise coaches me gradually through the steps; first getting clear on the reasons why I want to make a garden, and what I want it to feel like, then the logistics of how much involvement I want to have in the installation and care, and the steps needed to accomplish my vision. I love tending my new garden!

Louise was exceptional.

I have a large, varied landscape with established perennial beds. Louise was exceptional in helping me to reconceptualize goals while respecting the essential elements of a complex garden in need of restraint. Louise was sensitive about time, effort, and expense, and was full of practical guidance.

Louise is a dream to work with!

I asked Louise to look at my property, an unkempt, neglected place. She teased out my priorities (less weeding, more plants that fill in) and offered ideas that I hadn't considered. I love how flexible it is to work with Louise; she's so responsive. Louise is a dream to work with!
