What people are saying…

  • "As an overwhelmed gardening novice, I needed a little guidance to get started, and scheduled a one-hour coaching session with Kelsey. She offered suggestions for all areas of my yard, brought books for inspiration, and gave me confidence to start planting. She provided the first step toward creating the garden of my dreams. I highly recommend Elderflower Garden Services, whether you need a short coaching session or more in-depth planning! "

  • "Kelsey has been so helpful in giving me direction. I had a big empty yard that I knew had so much potential, but I didn’t know where to start. She has helped me set realistic expectations and timing goals. We’ve gone through books and made decisions on what would be best for how I want to use the space. She’s made multiple layout recommendations for each step of the way. She’s also really honored my research, ideas, and questions throughout the whole process. The trees are in, and I can’t wait to get flowers and bushes next spring and summer. My yard will be beautiful in every season and so will the memories I’ll be able to make with my family. "

  • "My experience working with Elderflower Garden Design was spectacular and I would recommend them over and over. The garden design was both thoughtful and stunning. Kelsey was knowledgeable, a joy to work with, and made the process easy. She gave me the confidence boost I needed to plant my first garden at my first home."

  • "Kelsey did an amazing job in designing our pollinator garden! She has a good depth of knowledge in native plants. We chose the colors and she designed the whimsical garden with thought to height, color, blooming times etc. It turned out beautiful!"

  • “As someone who knows very little about flowers, I found working with Kelsey easy and encouraging. She took into consideration all my requests and created an incredible plan for a low maintenance pollinator garden. Her knowledge and friendly manner helped me feel confident that I can get started in planting this garden. Her detailed plans are clearly laid out and she reminds you of her ongoing availability for support and questions."

    E.T. (Minneapolis)

  • "Kelsey took the time to sit down with me and look at flower cards together. She listened to my intuitive likes and dislikes, aligned them with the parameters of my garden, and made a plan. I was proud of myself that I actually followed through and planted! Then she came back at the end of the season to see my garden. I felt supported the whole way. Even though I am an impatient gardener, Kelsey gently reminded me: “year one plants sleep; year two they creep; year three plants leap!” It’s been my mantra ever since."
