It was probably the one time that I didn't regret checking into a mailer advertisement. Nora's response time was quick and prompt and I felt like I was talking to someone who actually wanted to know what I was looking for and not necessarily what has been done. I was getting suggestions for my landscaping with preface of "well most people..." or "people normally do..." but that was not what I was looking for, I wanted different and a solid suggestion/direction. She came to my home and was engaged and worked with what I needed, she delivered on her word under her mentioned turn around and I was in love with her plant selection, excited to get this done. I did have to reach out for even more help and she did it without hesitation. It’s funny to say but by the end of this, I felt like I was working with a friend and not someone I just called off of a mailer. Great experience and I will be referring and using her again.

We have yet to install our garden but we love Nora’s design. Hoping to begin planting in the next few weeks. Nora listened to what types of plantings we enjoy, how much maintenance we hope to do, and understood what would work best in our yard. We even had a landscaper come in to get prices on removing stumps and regrading land and he was very impressed with the design and materials Nora provided to make purchasing the plants easier. Will update with photos next spring! But I highly recommend—what would’ve taken us as fairly experienced gardeners about 5 years to come to a layout we were happy with, took Nora just a few weeks.

Nora is super easy to work with, she has put together an amazing design for my yard. Just need to wait for the weather to break. Highly recommend Gardenette! I cannot wait to make this rendering come to reality this spring.

Nora is very creative and personal in her approach. She listens to her clients needs and creates a plan that meets their needs. She presents great schematic plans, options for plants and helpful suggestions. I loved working with Nora to recreate our landscape. Can’t wait to put the plan in place and watch my garden grow.

I contacted Gardenette based on recommendations from a gardening group and I couldn't be happier! I was overwhelmed looking for plants and shrubs on my own. She took everything I told her into consideration and it turned out much better than I could have imagined. I was really pleased with everything, including the communication I received after my design was completed. I highly recommend her reasonably priced, expert services!

Gardenette has done excellent work in setting up plans for gardens at my newly acquired property. Nora is the consummate professional providing direction for long neglected areas. I really appreciate her communication style which directly addressed my needs. I look forward to continuing to work with Nora and Gardenette.

We had a full tear-out of our old landscaping & wanted the ability to put in new landscaping at our own pace. Nora did a wonderful job coming up with a design & variety of plants that was exactly what I wanted. This is a great option for those who can plant themselves, but need help with the choice and layout. Would highly recommend!

We hired Gardenette to design a low maintenance front garden at the home we recently purchased. Nora met with us to walk through the existing landscaping. We have very little gardening experience - and she was able to tell us a lot about what could/should be kept, relocated or removed. She then designed a beautiful garden that we are looking forward to putting in place! Very easy to work with and can work off very little direction or specific requests.

Nora listened carefully to our needs and ideas, and promptly designed an updated look for our front garden. She recommended a variety of plants from which to choose. We also like to support women owned businesses but really, her dedication to and enthusiasm for her work is what sold us! Thanks again!

Nora worked with us to redesign our large garden bed in front of our house and it turned out great! She chose easy to maintain plants and provided pictures and descriptions to make it easier to buy.

Nora is very meticulous and attentive with her recommendations. She is a very friendly person and really cares about providing sound advice. She has a very artistic approach to her recommendations and saw things I could not have seen on my own. Highly recommend her for any landscaping design you need done.

Nora was a great help with redesigning my garden. Out with the old and in with the new! Now it looks healthy and beautiful! Thanks, Nora!

My husband and I have always done our own gardening and still do that, but we had a very busy project this year that didn't allow us the time needed for design, mulching etc. We are so pleased with the design, service and knowledge of the owner, Nora Saintz, that we look forward to working with her in the future.

I did use Nora at Gardenette for my design on my new build in East Aurora. It looks amazing. Nora, I will send you pictures. It’s beautiful.
