LANDSCAPE & GARDEN DESIGN Artful Garden Designs Garden Maintenance and New Gardens Reasonable Rates - Specialists in urban, shade & coastal gardens In over 25 years of gardening experience, I have specialized in urban, shade, and coastal gardens – some of the most difficult types to maintain. In addition, I bring a lifetime of art training and experience to the design of gardens, in particular, to the structure, texture, and color palette of gardens. I have expertise in 4-season gardens, which are possible even in our New England climate. Also, I studied horticulture in The Netherlands and Italy. My love of gardening led to a career change after previous ventures in art education, marketing, and publishing. For the years 2001 and 2002, my garden was on the garden tour Secret Gardens of Cambridge organized by the Friends of Cambridge Public Library. For eight years, I maintained the gardens and two large planters in a major public park in Cambridgeport, with the collaboration of the Graham & Parks Community School Council who provided funds for new plantings. I continue to maintain three large sidewalk flowerpots provided by the City located on my street. Since 2004, I have organized the planting of 38 large flowerpots on Western Avenue (a major artery from Central Square through the Riverside section of Cambridge) including the selection and purchase of plants and supervision of the volunteers helping to plant the pots. The Western Avenue beautification project is a collaboration of the City of Cambridge, Harvard University, and the Riverside Neighborhood Association. For your garden, I will recommend only plants, trees, or shrubs that have “good manners,” meaning they are hardy for our climate, are suitable for the conditions in your garden, and do not require much maintenance. The plants will not be invasive, will not require constant moisture, and, in the case of trees and shrubs, will not grow too large for the site (the mature height is usually overlooked by most landscapers and homeowners; thus, some shrubs or trees need to be constantly pruned or removed within 5 to 10 years). Also, I will not recommend plants that may not thrive in your garden under the conditions presented. I use only ecologically and environmentally safe gardening methods and cannot guarantee gardens where bark mulch or other toxic materials are present. When installing gardens, large commercial landscapers charge 75% of the cost of each plant, shrub or tree in addition to the cost of the plants. Also, I have observed that large landscape companies do not take the time to prepare the flowerbeds properly. Plants, trees and shrubs that grow or spread rapidly are used to give that mature garden look within a year or two, but at the same time these plants soon become invasive or too large for the site and require much maintenance to control. Many companies charge $600 minimum to rake leaves and $200 to prune one small tree. I simply charge our hourly fee. For instance, a small tree or shrub may take one person about half an hour to prune. Often my customers’ gardens contain plants that are very invasive or have grown too large for the site and I am hired to correct these problems. I will endeavor to bring order and beauty to such gardens. Terms: Garden design @ $50/hour. | Gardening @ $95 - $135/hour depending on size of crew Grass cutting and edging: $45/hour – two people; $55/hr. – 3 people. >>>Costs of plants and associated materials, and ½ labor, must be paid in advance

It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a central chimney and an entrance sheltered by an enclosed vestibule. Built in 1823, this single story wood frame house is one of the oldest houses in the Cambridgeport area of the city. The house is also unusual for its construction date, since it is a Georgian style Cape house, as opposed to the then-prevalent Federal style. Its first owner was a ropemaker. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
