I have a lot more confidence and knowledge now. I really look forward to watching our garden grow and mature over the years." (Davida, NE Portland)

Extremely valuable insight with a great attitude!” (Kat, SW Portland)

“Lydia was great at synthesizing what she heard from me and others… and made a space that makes sense for our various needs and wants.
I would definitely work with her again and recommend her to anyone who's looking for thorough and thoughtful guidance.
