 "Kathy's research, designs, and plant selections gave us the confidence to restore an area that had been problematic for 20 years. The area we used to call the 'jungle' we now call 'The Park.'" Ray and Karen Abramson, Westport, CT

She took the time to interview us thoroughly, gained much information from her meticulous observations, and had considerable aesthetic and functional insight as to how our property could be improved upon."
