| TESTIMONIALS WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT MARY... “Mary Frost, The Gardening Tutor, is fantastic. She has an ‘artist eye’, a flair for design and lots of knowledge about plants. She helped me transform my dull deck from mediocre containers into a lavish paradise. I'm so thrilled I feel like I have added and extra room to my home, where I can enjoy sitting outside with a good book and a glass of wine and feel like I'm living in luxury. Indulge yourself and have the garden of your dreams for a very reasonable price.” I love what you have done. Janice “When I first asked Mary to come to my house it was to assist me in my gardening and to teach me. She took time in explaining how and why to do certain things. She was very professional and a nice person to be with. If she didn’t have an answer to my question, she assured me she would follow up and she always has. I was then unable to do my own gardening due to a disability and Mary took over. I have always found Mary to be dependable, reliable, hard-working, conscientious, honest and courteous. I highly recommend Mary as a gardener and an instructor and anticipate a long relationship with her.” Marsha Castiglioni “I want to thank Mary, The Gardening Tutor, for reacquainting me with my garden. My garden is well established, but in need of some renovation due to plant size, sun or shade needs, and use changes. Mary listens to your needs and patiently helps you achieve your goals. Her suggestions using her artistic sense of color and form help you create the garden you have in mind. Mary’s gardening knowledge gives you the confidence to care for your own garden. Mary is dependable and trustworthy. The Gardening Tutor is the gardening helper everyone needs.” Rosalie Mack “Since my husband and I retained the services of Mary Frost, The Gardening Tutor, our garden has become my new hobby and obsession, which is interesting because I used to not have much interest in gardening and paid others to do it for us. Feeling too busy as it is, the thought of learning something new was just too overwhelming. Working with Mary, however, has made the learning process fun and effortless. I don’t have to learn things the hard, frustrating and expensive way anymore, which means my efforts are far more productive and our plants, flowers and trees are flourishing. Mary comes to our home on a regular basis and we work together, with her educating me on plants, insects, fertilizer and everything in between. We even make “field trips” to the nursery and she advises on the pros and cons of ownership of each type of plant that I select for a given area in our yard. “Mary has the wonderful ability of assisting students in a way that includes them and helps them to feel more comfortable with the material…she is a professional…kind, creative, and generous…” Debbie Eakins Coordinator Science Labs Agriculture Department Santa Rosa Junior College Organization, design, motivation, plant knowledge and excitement about the project are just a few of the things Mary brought with her when she came to help me with my back yard. All I knew about plants before hiring The Gardening Tutor was what you read on those little tabs in the pot. Mary helped me choose the plants I liked and knew which of these would do well in my yard with the varying sun and soil conditions. Although I could never remember the names of the plants it was fun going to the nurseries looking at the different varieties with someone who knew her way around there. It was alot of work transforming my backyard but well worth it. Thank you Mary for your enthusiasm, it really made me motivated to continue with the project. Tim Gonsalves I met Mary Frost when I passed by her home and admired her garden and left her a note to enquire who her gardener was. When I learned that she was a garden tutor, I was overjoyed! Working with Mary has been transformational as she works along side me and teaches me about plants, their orientation, how to best diplay their colors, and make them thrive. If Mary doesn't know the answer to a particular question, she researches it and sends me the answer. She is a pleasure to work with and my own garden is slowly blossoming. I highly recommend The Gardening Tutor! Janice Flatto What an absolute pleasure it was to have The Gardening Tutor out to see our home and to "help" us with our landscaping dilemmas. Having lived in our home for over 40 years and seeing our front and back yards go through many transformations, we were at a loss as to where to begin to tie the yard together in a pleasing landscape that suited us and our way of living. Not only did Mary have creative thoughts and suggestions about what we should do, but she listened to our thoughts and integrated them with hers to give us the easy flow we were looking for. Mary's follow-through was thorough as she delivered a well thought out plan for us with complete details on plant material and where we could purchase each item she described. Mary is knowledgeable, resourceful, creative, and possesses a personality that is positive and helpful. We would recommend her without hesitation for anyone looking for the perfect professional to help with any type of garden needs! Jim and Jean Schettler |
