I purchased some great plants from Jessica. Her backyard farm is a fun place to visit and great example of what you can accomplish with permaculture design, integrating growing food and raising animals. She has some very unique plants that produce food and help build the soil by fixing nitrogen. I like the personal touch and knowledge of plants that she has.

Jessica has been doing an excellent job in caring for our yard in Berkeley for a few years now. She has been an excellent and reliable resource - answering questions about plants, making recommendations re: care and placement, installing a drip system and generally making our outdoor space delightful.

After moving into our Berkeley Hills house from Seattle over 3 years ago, I spent too many fruitless hours (no pun intended!) and too much wasted money in trying to get my ignoramus of a weekly mow-and-blow-only "gardener" to convert a dry weed-infested area in a corner of my backyard garden into an edible patch for veggies/herbs/citrus trees. I have a painful and still-healing rotator cuff injury, and so i cannot do any lifting or digging myself. This year, I rolled up my sleeves and did some proper research, and finally found Jessica! She breezed in with her friendly smile and knowledgeable air, and just a few weeks later has transformed my barren patch into a flourishing edible garden with some of my favorite seasonally-appropriate veggies and herbs, including moving/adding irrigation, sprinklers, soil and appropriate mulch where needed. Her rates are very reasonable for the quality work she does. She also gives tips on her visits on possible weeds or leaks that her sharp eyes notice in other parts of the garden, for me to relay to my regular weekly guy to fix. Looking forward to working with her on a continual monthly or so maintenance basis, as and when it's time to harvest the veggies or change then according to the season.

Jessica did an amazing job transforming our yard space which was badly in need of some TLC. She is super knowledgeable about native and drought resistant plants and edibles. Her passion for working with plants is apparent in the landscapes she creates. Reasonable rates, highly recommend!

I love the selection of interesting, useful, and most importantly well-adapted plants that Jessica has to offer. There are so many choices out there, but working with someone who has real experience and an intimate knowledge of what is successful here is invaluable!

We could not be any happier then we are with our relationship with Jessica. She has been helping us reclaim our yard. And turning it into both a yard full of food and a yard of flowering beauty.
