TESTIMONIAL
From Wendy
We have had the pleasure of knowing Stina for seven years. During that time, she has managed our rental property gardens in Auckland and had considerable input developing our 53 acre property.
We have areas of traditional cottage gardens, large native areas, wetland restoration, orchards and vegetable gardens, equine shade and shelter areas and controlling weeds without chemicals (as much as possible) and masses of seed collection.
She has introduced me to Niwashi tools, regenerative soil practices, Maori medicinals, an endless range of plants I would never have considered, beautiful designs for the different areas to help cope with my indecisiveness, seasonal lists and gently helps me prioritise/have plants and products ready each month.
Before Stina arrived at our farm, I had planted over 50 plum trees. Stina now prunes them for shape and production, along with the other @50 fruit trees.
Because she has considerable experience maintaining gardens and is a multi-disciplinary artist, her designs show great flair, but are also practical.
