About Plant Design
Last March I sat in my sister in law, Wendy Maddens’ garden green with envy. Her two-year old yard was filled with interesting plants in an array of colors and textures and all were thriving despite just coming through winter and only being in the ground a short time. I asked if she spent a fortune on maintenance and she shared that Jeff Wortham was her landscape designer and thanks to him, the garden performs beautifully with very little maintenance. I immediately contacted him.
Jeff was quick to respond and since then has been a lifesaver in my yard. He is creative, professional, and a terrific listener. I find his knowledge of soil composition, plant material, irrigation techniques and hardscape refreshingly broad and original. In addition to the design plan he includes a soil analysis and fertilizing schedule which has made all the difference in understanding what my yard needs to thrive.
He makes house calls and gives me lessons on pruning, trellising, tree trimming, and welcomes the odd question or plant order.
I highly recommend Jeff. My yard is now an oasis thanks to him.
