Reviews of In the Garden (Architect)

Lynn Orstad

It truly pains me that I now have to update my original review of In the Garden from last year. When my family first started with In The Garden we were very happy with the service provided however this past year the service has suffered considerably with invoices being late, edging digging into the lawn, fruit trees not being sprayed ,or the spray not being effective , (have had diseased apples for 2 years) and was just dropped without notice as the owner "didn't like my attitude from her perception". I should note that during this past year I have been quiet about the decline as I knew there were issues that the owner was dealing with and I wanted to be understanding but this has now become so unprofessional that I now have been placed in a situation of trying to find another service provider at short notice. Her attitude is that it is everyone else's fault. Very sad.

Jo @ In the Garden have been our landscapers for the past 5 years! Her staff are very kind & courteous and they do an excellent job every single time! Thank you In the Garden for always looking after our trees & cedar hedges!

I highly recommend Jo and her team for landscaping and gardening needs. She took time to discuss our request and expectations. She and her team completed the job we requested on time and on budget. Thank you Jo! Such a pleasure working with you!

Be careful with the owner of this business. She is known as Jo Lester. She can talk (and I do mean talk) a good game about what she can do for your landscaping needs. Should you use her services you will not be pleased with her plant selection, grouping and lifespan of the product she selected for your site.

In The Garden came recommended to us from our neighbours who had experienced several bad designs from other landscaping design companies and were extremely satisfied with the work of Jo & her team. We were involved with the design & plant selection regarding our project and are thrilled with the result. All aspects including the cost, planting schedule & prep were reviewed so there weren’t any surprises. We would highly recommend In the Garden”.

Jo Lester has done a beautiful transformation of my front yard at #18 - 5550 Carter Rd in Chilliwack. The plants are all young, but with the positioning, variety and colour it will grow into something beautiful and peaceful. Thank you Jo!!

Jo is an exceptional landscape designer and her crew is top notch. She asked all the right questions, listened to my needs, and provided me with exactly the kind of garden I was looking for. I have had countless compliments from friends and neighbors. My front yard sets a very high standard on our street. In addition, Jo has responded to all my subsequent questions about caring for the various plants in my garden, and following her advice I achieved spectacular results. Top notch all the way, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending In the Garden.

Originally we used a landscape architect to design and plant our gardens. After two years, we were incredibly unhappy with the result. We were referred to Jo at In The Garden. She spent a lot of time understanding what we wanted. The end result of her plant choices and design have resulted in a garden we love year after year. Jo and her crew also maintain the gardens. We would not hesitate to recommend her for any of your gardening needs.

Jo's artistic eye for bringing in an interesting combination of plants and trees to compliment each other, that also fall into our easy to maintain need, has left me in love with my garden. Her team does an efficient job of the upkeep, and are pleasant and respectful to have on our property. I would highly recommend her.

We have reaped the benefits of Jo and her crew at “In the Garden” working on our yard for 10 years now. Jo demonstrates a passion for gardening, a broad knowledge base and the foresight to know what the mature effect of her ideas will look like in the yard. We consistently receive compliments about the beauty of our yard by random passers by. Jo is a delight to deal with and her crew is always cheerful, professional and respectful. I highly recommend “In the Garden” for anyone looking to improve or maintain the beauty of their yard.
