Her vision for the gardens has evolved as she has spent countless hours getting to know every aspect of our property. Everything she has done, including stonework, buildings and the gardens, is based on her extensive knowledge, and then brought to life with heart and her love for nature. She took my "must have" list and added to it in marvelous ways to create a beautiful, family friendly garden that I love and that brings joy to our entire neighbourhood too! **★ — christie l, Nov. 2017** > Worst experience in hiring a landscaper!! > In a nutshell I paid Anji to do fall cleaning for one month, but she destroyed one my front lawns as a revenge as I declined her other overpriced and ambiguous service that she's trying to push me to do (there was no other reasons I can possibly think of). I did not ask her for any compensation, but simply asked her to stop working and refund me the prepaid portion- obviously there was none and she totally ignored me without any explanation, so I ended up paying $450 for two incomplete cleaning. This is by far my worst experience with trades. > > Also she can get really emotionally unstable when things are not perfect. Also I found her with low integrity, let alone being professional. when there are so many reputable gardeners out there Anji does not deserve our business. **★★★★★ — Jay Caplan, June 2017** > We have been working with Anji Shukla from Blooming Planter for a few seasons now. She has a wonderful taste level and with her vast knowledge of flowers, Anji was able to quickly nail down exactly the looks that we had in mind and turn them into exciting gardens....we love her suggestions ! Mix all of that with Anji's hard work and eager to please attitude...we are happy to > recommend Blooming Planter highly. **★★★★★ — adamschneiderman, April 2017** > Anji was great! Professional, on time, on budget. What more could you ask for. Additionally, she has followed up and checked in occasionally to make sure plants are doing well. We were very happy with the service and remain happy with the end product. **Comment from Blooming Planter:** > Sweet Adam! Thank you! I'll keep checking on my babies. **★★★★★ — Anastasia Bogner, Nov. 2016** > I hired Blooming Planter with the challenge to transform a tired overgrown courtyard and turn it into a peaceful zen space. The end result was a simplistic design complementing the interior of my home planned and executed perfectly. The crew was conscientious, courteous, tidy and worked in a timely manner. They all respected the tricky logistics of the site having to transport all trees, dirt, debris and stones through the house to access the inner courtyard. It was a pleasure working with you all and one that I will keep enjoying with each passing season. **★★★★★ — rjmacklem, March 2016** > We hired Blooming Planter to deal with a very unruly garden at the front of our newly purchased home. It was a particularly challenging job because of the extensive root system of a single tree. Blooming Planter can to the rescue! I would highly recommend this team-friendly, creative, knowledgeable and extremely hard working. Thank you for your excellent service. **Comment from Blooming Planter:** > Thank you Rosemary! It was a pleasure working with you and I really appreciate your kind words. **★★★★★ — Maria Hale, Dec. 2015** > Anji was a total pro! > She did a holiday planter for my new home and her work was beautiful, on time and on budget. As well she took payment online which made it really easy. > > Couldn't ask for anything more. > > --maria **Comment from Blooming Planter:** > Nice Maria! Thank you! It was a pleasure working with a lady who knew exactly what she wanted. I look forward to doing more with you. **★★★★★ — michele\_coleman67, Dec. 2015** > Blooming Planter is a very reliable company that has been gracing my home with dramatic floral creations. For the past two years, I have been thrilled by the exquisite planter designs which light up my front steps during the summer and winter months. **Comment from Blooming Planter:** > Thanks Michelle! It's been fun and thanks for constantly spreading the word. **★★★★★ — The Eye for Design, Dec. 2015** > Anji, owner and designer at Blooming Planter goes above and beyond expectations with her landscape and exterior design work. She is energetic and creative and won't stop until the work is done. Great for all yard and exterior work and especially the most spectacular planters of course!! **Comment from Blooming Planter:** > Wow!!! Nice Brenda!! Thank you! And thanks for offering all those landscape jobs at all of your beautifully renovated properties to me. It's been fun working with such a pro. **★★★★★ — ottiliemason, Dec. 2015** > The crew at Blooming Planter were amazing. I really liked the design ideas that Anji came up with that were very creative and feasible solutions to the landscaping I needed in my front and backyards. They transformed these areas of my property into beautiful, orderly garden space. The plants they selected were great for what I needed. I was also very pleased with the stonework they did. I would highly recommend Blooming Planter ! **Comment from Blooming Planter:** > Ottilie, you're a doll! Thank you. It was a pleasure doing work for you and your neighbour. **★★★★★ — james8160, Nov. 2015** > Anji and every member of her crew were outstanding. They were creative intuitive and extremely knowledgeable about all things landscaping. From designing to planting & maintenance as well as stone work & irrigations systems ... they had recommendations and solutions. I am using Anji & Blooming Planters for more work on a new home as well as recommending them to everyone I know. > I trust Anji and Blooming Planters to exceed expectations and always with a positive outlook. > James Metcalfe **Comment from Blooming Planter:** > Jim thanks for the review, for all your referrals and for being such a fantastic client! **★★★★★ — Katharine Lake Berz, July 2014** > This is my second summer working with Anji's team at Blooming Planter and I continue to be astounded by Anji's creativity, work-ethic and reliability. Anji is an artist, and with plants as her media, the results are outstanding. She has planted beautiful pots, gardens, roses and vegetables for us. And she doesn't just plant. Anji is committed to making sure her gardens stay beautiful all season. She works incredibly hard and never disappoints to get projects done on time. Blooming Planter is simply the best landscaping and maintenance company that you could find. **Comment from Blooming Planter:** > Wow K... I am so honoured to receive such an excellent review from someone with taste as exquisite as yours. Thank you! ## Selected projects - [Jarvis Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jarvis-street-pj-vj~2409395) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 16 - Description: This heritage property started with excavation of the site and needed to be planted with plants that would have grown during the Victorian period in which the house was built in order to meet city requirements. Many mature trees and shrubs were planted on this property since the owners wanted a sense security and privacy from the busy streetscape as well of a sense of completion of this multifaceted project. - [Warren Rd](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/warren-rd-pj-vj~2443940) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 27 - Description: Full garden restoration including the removal and pruning of all damaged and dying trees on the property. All grass along the front of the property was replaced with ground cover and and a variety of more suitable shrubs and trees were planted to suit the current light conditions of the property. This garden continues to be maintained by Blooming Planter. - [Sackville Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sackville-street-pj-vj~1607417) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 7 - [Conrad](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/conrad-pj-vj~2410128) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 35 - [Forest Hill Rd](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forest-hill-rd-pj-vj~2413013) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 18 - Description: Annuals, tropicals and perennials are planted in the garden and urns to maintain seasonal colour along with other garden maintenance work to keep property looking it best. - [Prue Ave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prue-ave-pj-vj~1407255) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 11 - Description: This major restoration project involved tree removal, soil adjustment and planting new perennials suitable for both the back and front property. The property had been renovated back in the 70's with overgrown plants that provided little in the way of colour or texture. Plants were in place that simply did not show off the property and left the pool deck too shaded and undesirable. We took what we could from the original planting and landscaped plants that were more suitable for the cozy backyard… - [FOREST HILL RD 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forest-hill-rd-2-pj-vj~2443923) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 4 - Description: Full garden restoration for a property with beautiful bones which had been badly neglected. Work is ongoing. - [Delisle Street: Lushed up main floor condo unit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/delisle-street-lushed-up-main-floor-condo-unit-pj-vj~2412076) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 7 - Description: This stunning ground floor condo unit was in desperate need of privacy. The unit sits along the main driveway to the underground parking for the building. By planting living ivy walls behind narrow birch trees framed with a border of evergreen boxwood hedges we were able to create a sense of privacy year round. Low maintenance flowers were popped into planters on the property for a pop of seasonal colour. - [Inglewood2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/inglewood2-pj-vj~1407229) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 10 - Description: Landsape work in front and back property. The front has a large variety of perennial plants designed for continual show. The back is a woodsy garden designed around existing old Oak trees. The work on this property was phased in over two years with phase three (water features and rock garden) to be phased in during 2016. All gardens are now installed and Blooming Planter provides year round service. - [Marlborough Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marlborough-street-pj-vj~1563700) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 7 - Description: This property needed to be landscaped and cleaned up in both front and back. There was an existing shed in the back yard that needed straightened, new doors added, tile work completed and painted. The garden had grass that wasn't growing well which we removed and replaced with ground cover. We also redid the stonework which the client had completed on their own initially by lifting and relaying the stones to level and line the path. New perennials were then added to brighten up the small backyar… - [Belsize](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/belsize-pj-vj~1407242) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 9 - [Rosedale Road](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rosedale-road-pj-vj~281808) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 11 - [Douglas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/douglas-pj-vj~1426218) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 2 - [Metcalfe Street 3](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/metcalfe-street-3-pj-vj~807248) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 5 - [McPherson Ave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mcpherson-ave-pj-vj~807230) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 11 - Description: A modest restoration which included the replacement of all dying shrubs after a harsh winter and both planning and installing perennials to create a lush urban hideout.

HELP** *(in Design Dilemma)* What can I say? It's completely boring! Ideas? I want to modernize this space! 16' ceiling with two fans above A: The look you are going for is great Carolina! You will get there easily with a bit of paint. Elite's colour suggestions were great. If you don't want to spend a lot of money then keep your wall colour as is and paint the trims to match. The wood is beautiful but clearly not part of the look you are going after. Painting your fireplace and mantle( or remove mantle) in another colour from the same family will really quiet down and modernize your beautiful room. **Q: love the fountain. Can you tell me where I can get one?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Does this unit need to be shut off in colder temperatures? Do you need to drain it **Q: Single level VS Multi-level homes** *(in Polls)* Which do you prefer? Vote for your choice and tell us what type of home you have! Photos are welcomed too. :) A: I can't help thinking that building up rather than building out is better for our planet as well as our personal health. **Q: What type of iris is this?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This is absolutely stunning! **Q: great cabinets and lights!** *(in Photo Questions)* Will you please tell me where I can find each? thank you A: Beautiful kitchen! I would love to know who you recommend to clad kitchen cabinets in stainless. Silver Star? --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-21.*
