Jessica brings a unique perspective to the work she does. It includes a profound and detailed knowledge of the living materials that are part of her designs. Environmental, regional climate and maintenance issues all get due consideration in her designs. She has a focus that is clear and imaginative whether the spaces she is asked to work in are vast or small. She demonstrates the patience and recognition of not leaving the small and unseen for granted. Jessica and her team have been a joy to work with and one who is willing to put the client’s needs first while stretching the client’s vision and knowledge by her enthusiastic and incredible vision.

Green Goddess crew are terrific workers. They are quiet, no radios, no blowers, and they initiate work like looking for palm tree babies and mole and gopher tunnels. Often they come back days later and trap the sites. They keep up on yard work like I would myself. The best part of having them come to the property is that they come and as a team work the yard. Cleaning up, cutting, fertilizing, and they take my suggestions on top of their usual plan. One day the crew head noticed a branch in the pepper tree that was snapped in a storm but had not fallen. It was a danger to us. They did what they could with the branch at the time, alerting us, and then the next time they came with heavy equipment to disposed of it. I was grateful for the warning and for the labor. Jessica Johnston leads the business with expertise and creative skill. I am grateful for her and her crew for the care and the skill to keep our yard healthy at this time of dire drought.

Green Goddess Gardens has worked for us for several years now. The owner, Jessica Thompson, helped us bring a 100 year old property back to its glory days and designed new gardens, walls, walkways, gates and such. Her team now maintains the property and does a top notch job always attending to the little details. We highly recommend Green Goddess Gardens to anyone in the Ojai Valley and region looking for a landscape designer.

We were having trouble finding enough time to keep up with the yard work. Not looking for a "mow and blow" company, we were looking for more. Green Goddess not only fills this need but we also hired them to help with the redesign of our yard. I love to garden and Jessica was very easy to work with to incorporate specific ideas I had. We are very pleased with the beautiful results!

Jessica and her crew are exceptional! Green Goddess Gardens has developed my garden over a 15 year period. Jessie was ahead of her time in directing me to a low water, low maintenance landscape. Neighbors have told me they walk down my street just to see what is blooming in my garden. I made the initial investment in my garden and have found, over time, that the plants have flourished and I have had to spend very little on additional plant material. They are Pro's!!
