Good Gardens LLC

Karen Hughan has done landscape design work for us as well floral arrangements for events at our home. Karen is friendly, easy to work with, has great ideas and is very creative. Her knowledge of plants and flowers is exceptional. The results of her efforts are beautiful and I highly recommend her.

Karen and I worked on a client's home together. She has a wonderful eye and extensive knowledge. She is a pleasure to work with - warm, attentive and down to earth. I would recommend Karen to anyone and look forward to working with her again.

There is no one better in the business than Karen with Good Gardens. I worked with Karen to create a vegetable garden and the entire process was professional and enjoyable. Karen listened to my needs and delivered a beautiful product. I highly recommend her and know she will do an excellent job!

Professional, precise, patient. Working with Karen was a pleasure. We are newbies to landscaping projects and our house was being renovated at the same time. She brought a ton of experience and knowledge about the area and what types of plants work best for what we wanted (low maintenance, salt tolerant). She got our aesthetic and has delivered a plan that we are excited to see implemented and we will enjoy for years to come.

Karen is truly a professional in every sense of the word. She is conscientious, creative, honest and has a tremendous work ethic. I would work with her on any project, at any time!

Karen was the florist for my wedding. She did the most spectacular job making my vision come to life. She not only listened to my desires, but was collaborative and came to the table with many useful suggestions while staying within budget. She is truly an expert in her field, and I felt extremely comfortable putting the floral design in her hands. Karen put a lot of effort into one-on-one meetings to make sure I was comfortable with all decisions. She also made a point to consistently communicate with me throughout the wedding planning process, which was extremely helpful. She pours her heart and soul into every project, while bringing her keen eye for design, color, and aesthetic. She was enjoyable to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a florist for any special event!

We hired Good Gardens to update and "spruce up" our yard. As first time home owners, we decided it was better to get help rather than try to tackle it all on our own. The scope of the project was fairly large and varied as it included: continuing and extending the existing fence in the back yard, putting gates on the sides of the house, planting trees, building an outdoor shower and replanting the beds in the front yard. Karen came and took care of everything from design of the shower, hand picking out the best plants and flowers for the beds, and sourcing and managing all the contractors while also paying careful attention to the budget and time frame of the project. On top of it all, she is a lovely person and a pleasure to work with too. We (my two young children included) always loved when she would come by to see how things were going. Her eye for design, professionalism and good relations with area businesses made the whole process so easy and definitely worth it. I plan on working with her again on future projects and would highly recommend her.

Karen rejuvenated three existing beds that were the entrance and atmosphere for a wedding celebration in our seaside yard. This included the herb garden which she then reflected in patio planters and in weathered boxes on the dinner tables. Karen is a true romantic that gets excited to create gardens that are classic yet set a mood. We are still enjoying it all three years later!

Karen is a gifted landscape designer as well as a highly sought after floral designer. I hired Karen every time I needed landscaping help. She kept me updated on any changes or adjustments and she always delivered a wonderful finished product. I trust Karen. She is a dedicated professional and works tirelessly for her clients. Karen is an exceptional person. I highly recommend her.

I've known Karen and her work for many years and her varied experience shows in her attention to detail and selection of plant palettes for each project. She is very creative which is reflected in the fact that she doesn't provide the same design look for each client but she listens to each client's desires and circumstance. I highly recommend her for your projects!

We built a house last year in Rowayton and hired Karen to develop a comprehensive landscape plan including trees, shrubs, fencing, masonry and a pool. Karen was an absolute delight to work with; she is a total professional with an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of landscape design. She was very responsive to our overall objectives as well as our specific likes and dislikes and delivered a final product that both reflected and improved upon our original vision. Moreover, she was sensitive to budget and kept everyone to a timeline. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Karen for any landscape project.

I work in landscaping design and I worked with Karen in my own garden. She has a wonderful creative design sense and is extremely knowledgeable about plant materials. Karen is a pleasure to work with, and follows the plan through to the last detail.
