Monique,
Vankleek Hill
"I have nothing but praise for Ines and Eric. Their combined, complementary skills, really make for creative, tasteful landscapes and vegetable gardens. Their knowledge of plants and vegetables — especially Ines! — are impressive. They have a wide selection of area vendors, who supply a wide variety of local, indigenous plants, as well as soil, and all pebbles, rocks and supplies to provide a well defined, visually pleasant landscape. They are highly organized, incredibly timely either with their own schedule as with the various deliveries from vendors. All falls into place seamlessly. I am extremely pleased with the work they provided and am quite satisfied with the end result."
Lorraine & Tom, Hawkesbury
"Eric and Ines started us off with a consultation and preliminary rendering of what are kitchen garden would look like. They were very very professional from start to finish. Even when my wife and I asked to make some small changes, this was absolutely no problem for Eric and Ines and did not upset the timeline for the completion. My wife and I are more than ecstatic with the final product. Thank you immensely for a job that went well above our expectations."
Marie-E., Lefaivre
This enclosed potager brings joy and grandeur to the garden! When Marie-E. contacted us, she was looking for a big kitchen garden to feed her family. Her goals were: low maintenance, organic produce, adding beauty. With this grand potager she's growing her garden dreams ever since.
Gitta, Rigaud
"It is very hard for an old dog to learn new tricks BUT it is even harder to teach an old dog new tricks. Ines and Eric did that with patience, empathy and a very solid amount of knowledge. After our zoom session I am feeling better prepared now for dealing with poor soil, millions of pests as well as becoming a better environmental friendly gardener all year round. And should I get lost along the route: Ines and Eric gave me personalized papers to follow. Thank you, Gitta from the Foothills of the Rigaud Mountains"
Jill, Smiths Falls
A kitchen garden build right around her deck - that was Jill's dream. Her steep yard and her vegetable loving dog required a very unique solution, so we've designed and built a terraced wrap-around deck kitchen garden. Lots of growing space in a small area. Jill's harvest is never out of reach in this garden!
Eric, Ottawa
Every city backyard bears the potential to be a green oasis. Eric and his wife were dreaming of a customized solution for their small Ottawa backyard to grow their own organic tomatoes, herbs and lettuces. At the same time, they wanted to increase the beauty around their sitting area. With border garden planters and vertical growing options, we've created the heaven they were dreaming of.
Family R., L'Orignal
A deer resistant kitchen garden! This is another very special project. We designed a fencing structure, that is going to protect this keyhole potager kitchen garden from being eaten by deer and skunks. This garden includes 2 metal trellis tunnels at the entrances and 2 benches to rest under 2 metal arch trellises. It's a pleasure to see it grow!
Maurice, Gatineau
"Thank you Ines, Eric and the teams from @Terrassement Blais and @ShedDeck. We agreed on an integrated schedule and everyone worked hard to meet it. I am very pleased with the result. Ines has been a dedicated partner in the design and aesthetic of this project and brought the teams together."
Julia, Vaudreuil-Dorion
"Working with Ines and Eric on our kitchen garden project was fantastic. They came up with great ideas of how to optimize our space and grow tons of veggies. I love the end result. It's even better than what I thought it would look like. Eric's wood work is awesome and so is Ines' knowledge of plants that she shared with me. I would recommend them to any day. "
Kimberly O'Connell, Ottawa
"This was the best hour I have ever spent! I'm so exited to try out all the coaching and ideas shared during our session! Highly recommended!"
Jessie Ruth, Quebec City
"I had a wonderful kitchen garden consultation with Ines! I would definitely recommend My Nordic Garden to anyone in zones 4-5 looking to learn or improve their veggie gardening. She gave me lots of good advice and optimized my garden plan. I can't wait to get started!"
Ann S., Ottawa
"Brilliant! My online consultation with Ines was just what I was looking for, very informative and lots of fun at the same time. I'm very much looking forward to implementing my kitchen garden according to the customized plans and coaching she provided. Highly recommend!"
Harriet Gulino, Hassloch (Germany)
"The consultation was very helpful. So many great new ideas and input. I really recommend to book such a consultation. Ines does a great job. Thanks a lot."
Family K., Ottawa
A critter resistant kitchen garden house! This is a very special project. We designed a house structure, that is going to protect the border kitchen garden from being eaten by squirrels and other critters. It's flourishing!
Marie-H., L'Orignal
Turning an overgrown perennial garden into a productive food forest? No problem! We removed non-edible and/or invasive plants, kept native pollinator plants and added many edibles to create the 'Edible Hill'. From lemon balm to strawberries and wild leek -there's a lot to harvest. Marie-H.'s dream of an ever growing food forest incl. a 'three sisters' patch came true.
Debbie, Hawkesbury
Debbie's front yard needed a refreshing touch. Wrong plant choices made it hard to maintain and look outdated. With a new design full of native and pollinator plants, Debbie's garden is now a joy in blue and white to look at and easy to maintain. It didn't take long for the first bees to arrive.
