Here's what our satisfied customers are saying...

Jenna is simply amazing. She has designed gardens at two different residences of mine. She has the knowledge and imagination to bring your dreams to life, literally. The depth of her team is tremendous. She has helped us with city and county permitting, the design of the garden, the sol prep, hardscape, lighting, plant procurement, installation of irrigation and plants. I give Jenna Bayer and her company my highest recommendation.

I must say we are THRILLED with our new garden! We are both surprised at how much joy it brings us to see the space you've landscaped looking so good. We are already talking about new yard projects we want to get you ladies involved in!

Jenna's character, positive attitude, horticulture and design expertise, and attention to every detail are extraordinary.

I have hired Jenna Bayer for several projects over the years. Her designs are stunning, unique, and receive numerous compliments from neighbors and friends. Designs are for seasonal beauty with environmental sensitivity. Her firm handles the whole project from design through installation. Projects are on time and on budget. Very responsive. Highly recommended.

The JBGD team installed my garden in 2019, and it still looks beautiful today! This spring, my garden was magazine-worthy with big, beautiful blooms all layered and nestled together. The garden remains colorful with plants blooming all year round. Everything they plant grows and thrives. They are true horticulturists who love what they do and take great pride in their work.

As the garden settles into its quieter season, I’m reminded how much life is still unfolding beneath our feet. The last of the Japanese maples are letting go of their color, ornamental grasses are beginning to soften, and the perennials we’ve admired since spring are easing into their winter rest. This is the time of year when the garden asks us to slow down, look closely, and trust its quieter rhythms. For nearly two decades I’ve followed a simple winter ritual in my own garden and in many of the landscapes we care for. It’s a practice rooted in ecology, but also in the kind of intuition that comes from walking the same paths season after season. You may have heard the phrase “leave the leaves” circulating in recent years. While it can sound like a trend, the heart of the idea is something gardeners have understood for generations: that a garden is not just a collection of plants, but a living system, full of creatures and cycles we rarely see. In recent conversations among gardeners and ecologists, there’s been a renewed appreciation for what happens when we let fallen leaves stay where they naturally accumulate. They become shelter for overwintering insects, protection for roots, and the first step in creating the rich, crumbly soil we love. Much of the research being shared today simply confirms what many of us have witnessed firsthand that gardens are healthier and more resilient when we’re thoughtful about how much we tidy and how much we gently leave alone.
