Riverview Acres

Owner Marlies Plaggenborg:*
Gardening has been my passion for 25 years. Around my home I have designed, planted and maintain a 5-acre personal garden sanctuary. I grow both sun and shade perennial gardens and a rich seasonal vegetable garden. I have also installed a water feature, created a woodland nature trail and have cultivated a beautiful collection of New England native plants.

I specialize in the design, installation and maintenance of residential gardens. These landscapes can be new, requiring full-scale development, or established and in need of transplanting, dividing, and overall improvement. Once the homeowner and I assess the garden, I compose a plan that is tailored to the owner's needs, desires, and vision. This plan includes the cost of labor and materials and is tailored to the owner's budget and schedule.

I have extensive pruning experience and few plants are unfamiliar to me. Contact me if you'd like more color in your gardens, want to redesign your perennial beds, or just need some gardening advice. I often work together with my clients, offering tips as we toil in the earth... and you know, it's all about the soil!....
