Gardens by Mares

I provide professional Gardening and Garden Design services in Etobicoke, Toronto, and Mississauga, with focus on improving the ecological value of a garden.

• Spring / Fall garden cleanup and regular garden maintenance

• Planting of native and beneficial perennial plants

• Garden improvement and design

• Seasonal flower displays, custom planters, annual planting

• Hedge / shrub / topiary trimming

• Mulching, soil improvement, organic fertilization

• Light wood and stone work

I do not provide lawn mowing or snow removal services.

I encourage organic gardening practices that help the ecology:

• Leaving leaves and twigs neatly in flower beds as mulch (precious organic matter and shelter for beneficial organisms)

• Providing a clean source of water for birds and insects (fountains, ponds, birdbaths, insect watering stations)

• Adding compost, organic fertilizers, and mulch to improve the soil, help plant growth and flowering, and conserve water

• Planting native plants as food sources and shelter for birds and beneficial insects

• Adding early and late season blooming and fruiting plants, and leaving perennial seedheads in place over winter

A bit about me:

My name is Mares, and I have plants on my mind!

There is nothing I enjoy more than experiencing nature. Whether I am out on a golf course, in a forest, working in a client’s garden, or in my own garden, outside is where I like to be.

My goal is to encourage wise ecological practices that help a garden sustain beneficial wildlife and a healthy ecosystem, while maintaining a pleasing aesthetic.

I hope to make a positive impact on the environment, and to help others enjoy a healthy, diverse, endlessly interesting garden full of life and beauty.
