What People Are Saying About US
I wanted to start a garden, but wanted someone else to teach me (well, just do it all, then I could tend to it LOL). I reached out to Desiree Sims with Peas & Love Co., and I am in love! She came out, planned everything with me, then built and planted it ALL! After a few weeks of tending to it, I had watermelons and green beans for days!!!! I recommend her to anyone who wants a garden, but doesn't know where to start, or needs a little help! Here are some progression pics!
Wonderful experience with these folks - loved working with Desiree and Justin to build beautiful raised edible garden beds in our backyard. They did a great job helping us pick the site, plan the garden, building everything and doing the very first planting! They were super helpful teaching us about how and what to plant. Highly recommend them!
My husband wants to be a gardener! We have lots of supplies and unsuccessful attempts. Desiree came to our house and looked at our property and our plants. She gave lots of good ideas and basically got us unstuck. We’ll see how it goes, but it is great to know we have someone to call as we progress. She pointed out the plants we have that are edible - good to know
Desiree did a consultation with me about my raised beds and helped me decide on what to plant. I am so excited to see what comes!
