WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“I can't say enough great things about working with Joan and The Gardener's Green! I worked with Joan on florals for a baby shower. A few weeks before the event, I sent her an email with some ideas. Joan is a creative genius and took my suggestions and elevated them beyond my wildest expectations!”
