Gardens tell stories

The arrangement of plants, colors, and textures in a garden reflects the story of the gardener's vision, experiences, and aspirations. What's created is a personalized narrative that evolves, where spring blooms and winter dormancy mark seasons. Dockton Creek Fine Gardening works to create and maintain a variety of gardens so that they shine regardless of season. Here are a few pictures that tell a variety of stories and testimonials from satisfied clients.

"We can't say enough about Dockton Creek Fine Gardening. This is the 2nd year we have depended on Katie to maintain our summer cabin yard. We couldn't be happier (and more relaxed...). She provides any kind of maintenance we need including (but not limited to..) mowing, edging, trimming hedges and blackberry bushes, trimming a small hillside by the beach, weeding where/when necessary, watering the plants as needed. I could go on...."

Sunny

"Katie has done several large projects for us as well designing and maintaining our beds. I love how she moves through the yard and makes everything look tended!"

Vera

"Katie is wonderfully helpful. She is very industrious. I trust her guidance. She provides education. She takes the time to understand what I am imagining and adds her own point of view. Last year I had a moment of delight when the garden was put together because it felt like me and not somebody else. I loved sitting on our deck and enjoying the space that got created. I am grateful for Katie."

Carrots, apples, lemon cucumbers, and chard are harvested from my garden in the full-time.

Keri

"[Katie] did a great job on weeding my herb garden. She was very knowledgable and detailed. She not only made it look beautiful but also gave me good information on what to do to maintain it and help my herbs thrive."

Bonnie

"Katie is awesome!! She knows what is a plant or flower or if it's a weed. The last person who did our yard pulled out the flowers and left the weeds. She was amazing and brought my yard back to looking good. Highly recommend her! You will not be disappointed."

"Did such a lovely job with my yard work. Great communication. Already planning to rebook for more."
