Testimonials

The greatest testimony to my work is to see my clients enjoying and spending time in their gardens.

"Anastasia Eranosova and her company ’The Island Gardener’ have been caring for our large garden in Little Current since the spring of 2017. Through her efforts, guidance and initiative, our perennial gardens have really flourished and this year we will be starting a vegetable garden too, using her expertise. She is always easy to talk with and communicates regularly in person and via email. Anastasia is knowledgeable, personable, creative, reliable and hard working and we feel so lucky to have her working with us again this season, and we hope, for many more seasons to come."

- Sarah Warburton and Stephen Cooper, Little Current, ON

"If you are looking to co-create beautiful garden spaces I would highly recommend the Island Gardener to assist you from the planning stage to the installation. Anastasia was passionate and professional and listened intently to what I wanted to achieve. She focused on all the important elements of site, environment, space, cohesion and aesthetics to come up with a sustainable, manageable and charming garden bed to enjoy for years to come."
