Justine has been a huge boon to us setting up our garden from scratch, as she has great vision and inspiration, and shows amazing capability of thinking wider than the norm. She is then more than approachable to help with advice for any on-going care and attention

- Mike and Liz

We utilised Justine for input to planting on our property. We were after good local knowledge as to which plants would do well in our area. The plants complement our build both in leaf colour and flower colour. She has sound plant knowledge and thinks on a deeper level.
