What clients are saying about Radish Gardens:

 

“Lydia takes the time and attention to answer ALL of my questions... 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)

“I recently purchased a home with a huge front yard. I was completely overwhelmed at the thought of tackling the landscaping. [Lydia] took time to listen to what I wanted, and then designed two garden scapes that melded perfectly together… Some of the best money I have spent recently for sure!" (Michele, NW Portland)

“Lydia was so wonderful to meet and work with. She 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.” (Camille, SE Portland)

“Super consultation with Lydia on things we could do to improve our space under a giant Doug Fir. We had to book about three weeks out, it was worth the wait!”
(Ernest, North Portland)

“Lydia is wonderful. She helped us when we first moved in to understand what we have and triage the top priority DIY tasks. We have had her back to coach us through native plant selection, water management, and most recently installing a retaining wall. Extremely valuable insight with a great attitude!” (Kat, SW Portland)
