We wanted curb appeal but also a functional space for us to enjoy and the design and work she provided was exceptional! **★★★★★ — lindajmcm, March 2016** > Glenna has been working with me for the last 3 years and has done a wonderful job of designing my planters on my seaside terrace. She has great knowledge of which plant works where and the plants she purchases are of the best quality. > She works well with her customers to incorporate their ideas into her plans. She consulted with me for the selection of the planters and has created such a wonderful space for us to enjoy our summers. "Stunning" has been a word that many of my guests have used to describe the terrace. > She is very professional and I look forward to working with her for as long as possible. **★★★★★ — janisclarke1, Oct. 2015** > Glenna has been our gardener for the past 15 years and we feel privileged to have her design talents displayed inside and outside our home. Her creative and artistic skills are exceptional and she is always ready, willing and able to take charge of our exterior and interior decorating and gardening challenges. We always look forward to seeing her! Janis & Bill Clarke, Vancouver **★★★★★ — eyebluecreature, Oct. 2015** > Glenna did a fantastic job on our patio. It was a jungle of sick plants when she arrived. She saved what she could, repurposed some pots, and then made a comprehensive design for the whole space. I really like the fact that she designs, installs, and now maintains, the whole project. Lots of other people want to do landscape design, but it is up to a second party to source the plants and do the installation, and then a third party to maintain it. With Glenna, it is more like my patio is a shared project between the two of us, where she is the one who bears the most responsibility. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. People walk into our living room, look out at the patio, and then immediately walk outside to enjoy it. It is the showcase of our home. **★★★★★ — ehendry, Feb. 2014** > I was fortunate to have hired Glenna last summer even though it was at her busiest time of the year. She overhauled my small patio garden, chose gorgeous plants, had a water fountain installed, co-ordinated my colour scheme and helped me streamline the garden and sitting area. Even in winter the garden still has appeal. > > She has a keen eye for detail, was patient with me during the buying plants process and her artistic/colour flair showed in the finished results. I cannot wait to have her back to tweak last summers plantings, see what has survived our below freezing temperatures and listen to her advice for the next steps. > > She is highly recommended. **★★★★★ — haberlgabrielle, June 2013** > Glenna has a beautiful design sense and wonderful, dependable delivery. > > She will really listen to what your needs and desires are for you garden space then make lovely and creative suggestions that look amazing every time. > > I cant say enough about her. **★★★★★ — stephmjnelson, Aug. 2012** > Working with Glenna was a pleasure. She understood everything that we wanted from our deck and made it a reality. It was important for us to have greenery all year long and she planted a great combination of plants that are mostly perennials. Privacy was an issue for us and Glenna came up with the solution of a living wall that we just love. **★★★★★ — Rosemary Sleigh Design, June 2012** > As home designer (finishes & interior decor) I collaborated with Glenna Partridge in planning the synchronicity of inside & outside, with special regard for the owner's colour preferences. Her beautiful work & valuable knowledge made the project complete. **★★★★★ — richsehmer, March 2012** > I have watched in awe over the past decade as Glenna continues to impress not only her clients, but other gardeners and designers in the industry. While her work is fresh, unique and innovative she also provides practical landscaping ideas which enables each home owner to enjoy looking at their stunning garden as opposed to spending hours maintaining it. I would highly recommend Glenna as she has quickly made a name for herself as a respected landscaper and designer in Vancouver. **★★★★★ — gleggat, Feb. 2012** > Glenna is amazing. She is very creative, honest and reliable. I love the way she does the outdoor pots and basically, I leave it up to her. She also is great at pruning and generally, perfect for garden care. Great gal! Thanks, Glenna. **★★★★★ — Carolyn Kramer, Feb. 2012** > Over the years, I have been fortunate to have Glenna create the most beautiful balcony gardens. She has been given the job of designing not only the garden but also selecting and laying out the appropriate planters and furniture. The result was fabulous. > > My first apartment had 3 patios, Glenna designed a unique garden feature to give each patio its own personality. The planters were visual delights, each one was a fascinating micro garden that demanded attention and earned raves. > > My current high-rise apartment has only one balcony and includes the challenge of high winds. It is amazing how highly functional and yet enchanting a garden could be designed in this space. When I entertain, my guests always comment on my exquisite planters, Glenna has created the equivalent of an extra entertain room. > > The gardens looks gorgeous throughout every season; from daffodils in the spring, flowering cactus plants in the summer to an architectural garden in the winter. It always gives me great pleasure and delight to look out the window or to enjoy my private time in my pretty garden. ## Selected projects - [Contemporary Seaside Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-seaside-garden-pj-vj~2633935) -

A: Hi Heidi. The grass is artificial turf. I hope this helps! **Q: What sort of plants is the hedge??** *(in Photo Questions)* They look like they wouldnt have to be trimmed lots?? Are they easy care?? A: Hi. The hedge is Cedar 'Smaragd' and they can be left to grow to their mature height of about (10'- 15') or can be trimmed about once a year to the height desired. I hope this helps! **Q: electric blue plant** *(in Photo Questions)* Hello Glenna. Curious what the bright blue flower is in the far left pot. Is it salvia black and blue? Thanks A: Hi thiswouldwork. The plant in the left at the back is actually a hebe. I believe I planted Hebe 'Patty's purple'. I hope this helps! **Q: What soil type did you use?** *(in Photo Questions)* Did you use a certain brand or is it your own personal mixture? BTW - this is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Thank you for sharing! A: Hi Davids62. The soil is a potting mix that is from a local nursery here in Vancouver. It's Southlands Nursery's brand of soil. The pots are fertilized every week with a mixture of 15-30-15 liquid fertilizer - one to two large watering cans per container. The containers range from 20" wide to 36" wide. Also they are on drip irrigation so they get constant moisture daily which really helps. I hope this helps! Thank you for your kind words on my work! Glenna Partridge **Q: Do you have plans for sale ? Thks** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Mike. Sorry...I missed your question. No I don't have any plans but the shed is about 10' x 10'. **Q: Was this outdoor room custom built? If not, who is the manufacturer?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Michelle. It was custom built to match the house. I hope this helps! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-24.*
