Had appointment April 21st to discuss the concept. She called the day before and said she couldn't find it on her computer but would be fairly easy for her to redo. I said no worries, when ready call me back to reschedule. No response back, I emailed her after 2 weeks, didn't get a response. After a month I contacted the owner, Garrett, and then the next day Bobbi contacted me and left a message saying she was sorry, it was unprofessional, she should have got back to me, if I still wanted to do the project call her back. I didn't call back that day, but the next day Garrett left me an email saying he was sorry and they prided themselves on communication. So I answered the email fairly promtly that day, which was May 19th, saying I wanted to continue and I would call Bobbi. I called to leave her message and her outgoing mail said she's out of the office till June 2nd. I left a message saying I would continue with the project even though I thought it was odd she never mentioned she was going to be out of the office when she told me the day before to call her back. Well, it's June 9th and I think it's pretty clear that Bobby doesn't want anything to do with it job for whatever her reason is. There was no unpleasantness in our first meeting or after so I don't understand why she would ghost me when this is a sizeable job for them to do. She never mentioned any difficulties with a job that could have put her off wanting to continue. I won't even go to the nursery to buy aplant or anything after being treated this way. Very poor business.

It is more like touring an established garden with winding paths and a pond browsing the plants along the way. They have a good selection of native and unique plants and the prices were good!

She takes peanuts out of your hands which Marie hands out to visitors. We purchased candles and other goodies which we really loved. The prices for the treats, into which Marie puts her heart, are very reasonable. Trust me, the treats in Hawaii cost way more, and they are made with factory machines. We even bought a large cookie from a batch that Marie baked that morning. The cookie was really good. We ate the cookie, fudge, and caramels before we reached Deception Pass Bridge (we are visitors from Hawaii). Mahalo so much Marie!!!

I had a tiny back yard, cute and neat, but not very useful. I saw the reviews here and elsewhere…read moreand was impressed by the positive feedback given to Jumanji. I met with Jumanji and told her that I'd like to create a seating area, I needed privacy from my neighbors, and I like a riot of color, mostly purple/lavender, fuschia, white and chartreuse or gray. That's just about it. With that little bit of direction she turned my humble yard into a fairy tail garden. It's like a Monet painting! When my partner saw it he responded, "Wow!" Even my son, who, as a teenage boy, isn't the most effusive (unless you want to talk video games), commented, "The back yard looks really cool!" Jumanji gave my little yard the artist's touch. It is perfect. Jumanji's rates are reasonable and she will come back for regular maintenance, which means she will continue to watch her handy work develop and will take more care than most. Now all I need is a table and bench or chairs so I and a couple of my friends can enjoy the beauty and serenity that is my secret garden.

Connecting with Oliana Gardening was superbly serendipitous. As an interior designer and landlord,…read moremy gardens need to be both aesthetic and highly functional, and preferably mostly native. I needed a landscaping establishment that was reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable about natives, the right price, able to do both maintenance and renovations, and, this was a biggie, artistically trained. Oliana Gardening is meeting all these needs beautifully. Reliable and trustworthy means appointments are kept, communication is good, work gets finished, and my property gets cleaned and locked up as it should be. Being able to trust Oliana Gardening as I do makes my life so much easier. Jumanji really knows her native plants, and helped me figured out a scheme for a sunny front garden that I was failing miserably with on my own. I'd spoken to other people about natives before, but they either couldn't imagine an entirely native garden, or were so natives-oriented they seemed to sniff at my aesthetic needs. Jumanji supports my dual and sometimes conflicting requirements. For example, while it's stressful on sword ferns to completely cut their old fronds, we're compromising with selective trimming. The fact that Jumanji does both installations and maintenance is especially helpful because every act of maintenance from pruning to carefully placing excess leaves in the right spot all leads toward the overall garden vision. She's not going to damage anything from ignorance or mess up what is working well like my clean gravel drive by getting dirt all over it as one "gardener" did. More, Jumanji keeps teaching me new things about gardening, which makes the process fun. To me, Jumanji's greatest asset, is that is also an artist. Many companies have great plant knowledge or construction abilities, but their gardens often lack unity or artistry. I absolutely love collaborating with Oliana Gardening as one creative with another. Jumanji understands the creative process, creative angst, and "can we move it again?" Jumanji also has other equally talented colleagues, so when I wanted a border between my plants and gravel, she brought in an artist friend who can weld. Together they created a beautiful steel border and craftily installed it among carefully placed rocks to make everything look level and balanced. Last, Oliana Gardening understands my garden ambitions aren't backed by a big budget so existing plants, rocks, leaves etc. have been used to their utmost. To offset costs, we'll figure out things I can do myself, we'll work together for a bit (such as when she wrapped one of my trees with holiday lights and installed some new large rocks), or spread work out over several months. My garden has really come together since working with Oliana Gardening, and I look forward to working with the company long into the future.

Paying online was super simple (I even used Apple Pay). Bottom-line: they did great work and brought a smile via their wonderful floral creation! I highly recommend them.

After…read morebeing badly hornswoggled with Blossom Flower Delivery's Google ads that they were #1 Florist in Langley, WA, and a Top Florist for 30 years -- the explicitly promised delivery did NOT happen, and reaching customer service was a long and horrible story in itself (oh, why hadn't I come to BBB or googled reviews first!)... ... and afterwards, almost succumbing to yet another [also sponsored!] ad for Ava's Flowers being a local Langley shop (vs. Newark, Delaware, as noted in bold at the very bottom of their webpage), I then trusted blessed Yelp to help identify Langley's actual brick and mortar stores.... A Special Touch Flowers and Gifts was ranked #2 of 28, from the entire geographical region. An appropriate ranking, indeed, despite the number of reviews as only 1? (But they're ranked 4.3 stars from 12 reviews on google.) Calling too early at PDT, and hours apart, with my EST, I followed their recorded instructions to order online. While much seemed to be unwanted custom -- I later learned they stopped affiliating with either Teleflora or FTD -- I selected a pictured dish garden, chose which size, filled in what I wanted on the card, and in the Special Instructions area, explained my situation and the sad terminal diagnosis, sharing I MUST have confirmation of same day delivery availability, and to please email or call. With beloved's difficulties in either speaking and/or hearing, the living (loved) plants were my best far-away way of trying to reach out. Then, the call came, first thing, at 9 am PDT time. Wow! A real live, caring person. A real store. We discussed what would be different from what was pictured. And I received, as promised, email confirmation of delivery, when the timely delivery actually occurred. I'm confused by the A+ rating, when it says they're not BBB accredited. But I wanted to be sure to leave word at BBB (and Google and Yelp!) that you can buy from A Special Touch Flowers and Gifts with confidence! They are Special!!!

Very recommended!
