Deborah Trickett is a generous, reliable and brilliant garden designer and creator

She put together from scratch two lush deck gardens for us, using new cedar containers, which included annuals and perennials and a hidden irrigation line. We had a summer of our own tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, basil, rosemary, sage, oregano, chives, thyme, mint, and glorious flowers and grasses, all in the heart of one of Boston’s most urban areas. We have a super sunny spot with very little shade, but she figured out how to make the space work. We cannot say enough praise for every aspect of her work. She put in both gardens in 95 degree heat! They have been a healing presence, drawing humming birds, honey and bumble bees, butterflies and sparrows. What a joy to have found her to do this for us.
