“I am writing to let you know how much we are enjoying our patio garden. The plants are very beautiful and are growing very nicely. We’re excited to see how our garden is transforming and becoming more beautiful everyday. We have red berries on the bushes in the front now and the small birds come to eat them. There is also a nice purple flower in our front planter that is nice. As you know we don’t have green thumbs but wanted our planters filled with something beautiful and easy to care for. After meeting with several people in your field with no success we were very thankful that we found you. It was so easy to work with you from the first time we met. You are knowledgeable, prepared, and reliable and create beautiful things. We have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone.”
Jo-Ann Heinz, Vancouver, B.C.
“Radina’s flower arrangements turned out to be precisely what I had always imagined my wedding flowers to look like. She firstly took the time to sit with me and go through the different options in terms of design, flower choice and price. I gave her a general idea of what I had in mind and she made it come to life! I got so many compliments on our flower arrangements – from the bouquets to the head table arrangements. When looking at my wedding photos the flowers look so vibrant and they exude everything I felt about my wedding day – love, excitement and beauty. The magenta colour I wanted to be the highlight of the arrangements was perfect as it matched the bridesmaids dresses and the general theme of the wedding. I couldn’t be happier with Radina’s level of professionalism and creativity, and I would definitely recommend that she help you make your wedding day be as close to the fairytale as you had envisioned.”
Jasmina Charleston, Vancouver, B.C.
“Radina designed and twice-annually maintained my garden over the past 5 years. Over these years I have had much pleasure from the resulting, very attractive garden. Radina is an extremely professional landscaper, being very knowledgable and very helpful. Her high level of knowledge and experience were always apparent. I found Radina friendly to work with and we were able to strike a balance between my desires and Radina's advice which for me was a comfortable, trusting relationship. I would not hesitate to recommend Radina either for design or maintenance of gardens”.
Anne Burger, Vancouver, B.C.
“This was our first dealings with Radina and Astroflora Gardening. She came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Her expertise and knowledge were amazing. We couldn't believe how quickly our gardening project was completed. Right from the start we could tell that Radina displayed very high standards and was there to make sure we got what we wanted. Our trust in her proved to be right on as we went on holidays and left it all up to her. What a wonderful surprise to arrive home and see a truly beautiful transformation in our backyard. The professionalism displayed by Radina was very much appreciated. I would strongly recommend Radina for any of your gardening needs.”
Mike and Maureen Gauld, Deep Cove, B.C.
“Radina has worked on garden projects for me since 1998. She has helped me with design, maintenance and refurbishment projects, combining horticultural expertise with sound taste and diplomacy. Radina helped transform my garden from the ordinary to a delightful refuge and kept it that way during extended periods when I was abroad. She combines vision with practical solutions, using economic measures to make the most of the time and money invested.”
Kirsty Maxwell, Vancouver, B.C.
“Radina's first garden consultation with us was given as a gift from a friend, meant to be one hour long. We soon realized that she had unique and deeply thoughtful ideas and knowledge of horticulture and garden design and the one hour evolved into asking her to create and maintain the garden of our new house. It has been a delight to watch the garden mature from the initial planning and planting to the lush interesting place it is now 2 years later. Radina so obviously knows what she is doing, has opinions and ideas but at the same time remains open to any amount of discussion and input. We have learned so much by observing her respectful and expert way of working with plants. The garden we have now, although it is still evolving, is a delight to us and receives constant comments and praise from neighbors and strangers walking by and enjoying it as well.”
Susan Comay, Vancouver, B.C.
"Radina is a wonderfully creative garden designer as well as a hard working, reliable and knowledgeable gardener. She created a showplace front garden for our Vancouver westside, corner lot, and lovingly maintained it over about a five year period until we sold our house. Over the years she continually improved the garden, using perennials, shrubs, bulbs and annuals, so we had a changing show of colour throughout the year. We really enjoyed working with Radina over those years and could always be proud of our beautiful garden."
Peter and Lynne Lighthall, Vancouver, B.C.
"Harbour Cove, on Pennyfarthing Drive, was fortunate to have Radina on the gardening committee. Her expertise in horticulture guided us in selecting the appropriate plants for our garden and designing a garden with year round color and interest. We are very grateful for the contributions that Radina made. Today’s look of our garden is a tribute to wise choices and good design."
Jennifer Hunt, former chairperson Harbour Cove Gardening Committee, Vancouver, B.C.
"Radina has designed and maintained my garden over the past ten years. Her creativity and knowledge have made my garden beautiful and a delight. Recently she has redesigned the garden with different textures, flora and seasonal bulbs to make it a unique space. Radina has also made wonderful floral arrangements for my various parties and wedding. I will always remember the care she took in hand selecting the roses, colours and accompanying flowers to make them truly special. I look forward to working with Radina in the future."
