Landscaper
Although my husband and I were the ones who designed our Garden of Ithilien, it took the assistance of a knowledgable and dependable landscaper to do most of the work (engineering and laying the flagstone patio, installing the fountains, lighting the paths, installing and programming a watering system, as well as prepping the garden area, planting, and major maintenance -- pruning and protecting). He helped determine what plants would do best in sun and shade according to our layout plans. He continues to work with us to keep the garden in shape as the hedges and the vines continue to climb and the plants continue to grow (and overgrow!). At times he is daily advising and guiding us in our Garden of Ithilien adventure. Thank you, Kevin!
