“From the initial consult, through the planning stages, to the final clean up, Ellen was amazing to work with. She listened to what our needs were and designed a wonderful garden, the end result of which has elicited nothing but extremely positive comments from our neighbours.
I have worked with a number of landscaping companies over the years and Grass Roots Gardens has set the bar to a newer, loftier standard. Punctual, attentive, and on budget – they were professional in every way. We would not hesitate in recommending Ellen and Grass Roots Gardens for a personal touch to your gardening project.”

“Thank you so much for your care, eye for beauty, and your talent for landscaping. Did I mention patience? I love our new welcoming front garden!”

Deborah Mollica
“We admired Ellen’s work in the neighbourhood and gave Grass Roots a call. Prompt, professional and a pleasure to work with. We will continue to recommend Grass Roots Gardens to our friends, family and colleagues”
Drew Lawrenson, E 23rd Ave
“After years (and years) of neglect, Ellen transformed our overgrown ‘forest of weeds’ into a garden of calm, order and possibilities last fall. Her eye for detail and recommendations were both within our budget and style. Ellen works extremely hard and is committed to her timelines. We cannot wait for this spring to have her back to make the rest of our gardening dreams a reality!”
Gordon & Rebecca Janke, E 29th Ave
“Thanks so much to Ellen, of Grass Roots Gardens, for doing a marvellous job of creating a simple, low maintenance space in my back yard. She has transformed a yard into a garden. She listened to what I had in mind and was able to come up with knowledgeable solutions regarding plants, shrubs, and landscaping. I was impressed with her honest, friendly approach. She kept me updated at all times and even came in under the estimated cost…a welcome bonus. I would highly recommend using the services of Grass Roots Gardens to anyone looking for a reasonable and professional landscaping job.I will definitely use their services in the future.”
Sheila McLean, E 38th Ave
“I’m proud to say I now have the smartest front garden on the block. Thank you, Ellen of Grass Roots Gardens. Not only does my front yard look FANTASTIC, but it’s also maintenance FREE!! I would highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a gardener with fresh new ideas and who’s not afraid to work hard in the ugliest of weather!”
Janice Hague, E 37th Ave
“I hired Grass Roots Gardens to work on my garden last year on a friend’s recommendation, after deciding not to re-hire another company I had used the year before. With Ellen, it was a far more collaborative and enjoyable experience — she listened to what was working and not working for me in my garden and made a number of spot-on suggestions that perfectly fit with my vision for a new garden. She was unfailingly cheerful and hard-working, and I have complete confidence in her recommendations and advice. I am looking forward to working with her again in the spring and in the years to come, and I have already recommended her to friends and neighbours.”
