Call for Gardeners, Not Blow N’ Goers

Q.
I am so hoping you will be able to help me:-))
 
I need an actual gardener and landscape company… we planted a
wonderful organic garden that cost a fortune to have done, results have been
minimal. I need someone to maintain and help us. We would like to hire someone
with actual knowledge about yard care, not just someone who comes with a leaf
blower and a pair of shears:-)) We just discovered we have wood bores!!!
  Any recommendations you would have, would be so
appreciated.


A.
I wish I could direct you to a solid landscape company. Most people are price
driven in their selections and so our valley is dominated by blow-and-go
companies, not professional gardeners.
I was hired in the past to work with
local companies to do that but for a variety of reasons this arrangement has
failed to gain a foothold. I have also worked with a couple of “landscape
consultants” who claim to do this and, to be quite frank, I was very
disappointed in their level of knowledge and do not have a lot of faith in
their abilities.
We
used to have a couple of very good “gardeners” in town in past years but they
are no longer with us (deceased) and no one has replaced them.
If
you find something I would certainly like to know about it.
