JACKY C.
Consultation Testimonial

"Ali has been such a fantastic help in supporting me with the garden this year and helping get my confidence back.  She has been a fountain of practical knowledge and super available whenever I have any questions."

SHELLEY F.
Podcast Testimonial

"I have enjoyed listening to Ali and Jen so much this past year that despite living at polar opposite ends of NZ they feel like my friendly neighbour's. I find their chats so funny, informative and easy to understand, even as an intermediate gardener I am learning and reminding myself important gardening skills every week."

MARILYN G.
Podcast Testimonial

"Love the podcast so much - seems like I am sitting right next to you.
 
Love going through the seasons with you - please keep doing what you do."
