What Our Clients Say

  • "Monica has been working in my very large mature perennial garden now for over 5 years. She has helped rejuvenate several areas of the garden both with design and installation. She has a sound knowledge of plant behavior and what plants look good together. She is an excellent shrub pruner and has good eye for how a shrub should look. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a highly qualified person whom they can trust to do an excellent job."

    Colleen MacGregor

  • "Knowledge, energy, and friendliness sum up Monica and her Dockerty Gardens team. We have a mature and diverse group of gardens, many with unusual plants. Monica quickly identified them and understood the environment and the care they needed to flourish. She and her team work hard to help maintain existing gardens and to prepare new ground for expansion."

    Robert and Susan Stitt, Birdsong Gardens

  • "Monica was recommended to me by a longtime friend whom Monica had been helping with her garden for a few years. A busy work schedule had left me with a sense of anxiety and dread instead of joy when I looked at my garden. She has a wonderful knack for working with the bones of the garden and restructuring and reusing plants. I can feel and share her sense of joy and creativity now throughout the seasons. I now get to look forward to coming home after work to walk through our shared version of paradise and to sitting down and savoring the beauty and peace."
