I have been fortunate to have Maggie taking care of my garden for the past four years. She has the 'greenest fingers' of anyone I have employed before, and without fail goes the extra mile. She uses her initiative to keep the garden not only neat and trimmed, but to create the most spectacular flower beds, a thriving and fed lawn and a truly magical garden. Maggie has also always taken on board when I have clients, as being a Psychotherapist privacy is key, and so she discreetly avoids any contact with clients and a presence that may disturb. In line with this, my garden is overlooked by my clients during sessions and many regularly comment on what an attractive and beautiful garden it is, all of which contributes to me personally in my aim to provide a therapeutic environment. It is therefore my pleasure to recommend Maggie most whole-heartedly.
