"It’s been a pleasure working with Meg to revamp our garden. Her professionalism and attention to detail is commendable. So too is her plant knowledge and ability to recommend stunning, yet practical solutions. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Meg and her team."
"We have been working with Meg for the past year on our one acre garden, set on a sloping block in The Dandenongs and could not be happier. Meg thoroughly examined our property, with all of its challenges, then after discussing our likes and dislikes, designed an absolutely wonderful garden that is varied, functional and beautiful, highlighting so many different plants and sections as the seasons change.
Meg sourced the plants and placed them all (over 1000 so far), then followed up regularly over the year as the garden established itself. Meg is friendly and knowledgeable and a total delight to work with. We would recommend her without hesitation."
"We are now enjoying the results of Meg's wonderful design for our back garden. After our initial meeting with Meg, she took all of requirements and requests on board and came up with a beautiful design. A beautiful colour palette, a range of textures and movement, fragrance, seasonality in colours, in essence a garden to delight in all seasons. Meg was an absolute delight to work with, she was enthusiastic and showed enormous interest in our small project. Thank you Meg, you have delivered a lot joy to us now and we know it will continue to deliver as we watch our garden grow."
"Meg is awesome! She is creative, thorough and understands a clients needs and is able to transform their ideas into a well suited garden design. Her plant knowledge is really outstanding, I look forward to using Meg again on my next project."

"We employed Meg to put together a planting plan for a landscape that we had designed and were building. She met with our clients on site and was given a brief and from that she put together a planting plan that surpassed what our client had wanted. We were extremely happy with her knowledge and professionalism and we will definitely work with Meg again."

"Meg knows plants!!!! There are so many designers out there that know a small selected palette but Meg is one designer that crosses over into a horticultural realm. I've been amazed at the ideas she can bring to the table when engaged to provide planting palette advice. If you're looking for a friendly designer that goes the extra mile when creating and that knows in-depth horticultural knowledge look no further than Meg."

"The Bentleigh West Kindergarten Committee approached Meg from MG Gardens to design two separate sections of the outdoor space within our kindergarten.
In both instances, Meg's professionalism and advice were exactly what we needed. She took the needs and wants of the Educators and children, and the safety concerns of the committee and designed beautiful, thoughtful, innovative, and cohesive areas that are being used every day.
Meg has continued to support the committee and kindergarten beyond completing the project by providing advice in regards to construction and answering many calls about replanting and maintenance of the equipment. We have no hesitation in recommending MG Gardens to other early childhood establishments or anyone looking for a designer that can nail a brief perfectly. Thanks Meg!"
