Shirley Bovshow

I truly enjoyed working with Shirley! She was warm and friendly, and she listened to me. Our first visit was at my house, where she took photos and an assessment of the property. We spent about about an hour and a half or so discussing ideas, walking the property, and just making some preliminary choices. Next, we met at her office where she handed me a folder which contained photos of my property with color coded circles as markers for possible plants. I loved that and refer to it often. Also, was a list of plants that were categorized into groups depending on their use and placement in the design. I had asked for referrals, and she had a few of those as well. After the office visit, we went to the nursery. There, we walked and talked, and I was able to see the plants she had recommended and choose others that I liked as well, taking notes in my folder. My project is still in the works. I have been working one step at a time as my budget allows. I use my folder and depend on it as a support tool! Shirley's consultation was thorough and has been essential to me.

Shirley helped me transform my hillside into an oasis. She really inspired me and got me started on a very large project that turned out better than I imagined. My hillside yard is the envy of Laurel Canyon! I am very hands on so she collaborated with me with out a hitch. She has a great eye and knows her plants. She is also fun and light we had a great time. I recommended her to my sister and she was very happy as well. I would continue to recommend her.

Shirley designed a beautiful drought-tolerant garden for us to replace our front lawn, and brought in an excellent contractor to execute her plan. Only negative was her frequent lateness for appointments, but we are extremely pleased with our final product and her respect for our budget. Our garden is now the talk of the neighborhood!!

Shirley is absolutely wonderful!!! She is creative, thoughtful and has an amazing design sense. Working with her on our project was a joy!!! When our friends and neighbors come by, they always compliment both of our yards. Our house looks great!!!
