Contessa’s – Gardening Consultations, By Appointment

Spring is two months away. We have been retained by this Del Ray client to prepare a plan for front yard curb appeal/renovation of this home on Monroe Avenue.  They are currently on our schedule for April installation

ContessasHome LLC formerly Contessa’s (Garden and Gifts) retail store in Del Ray is accepting consulting/appointments for “Spring” gardening prep. We are listed and an approved vendor for the community of Park Fairfax under the trade name,  Contessa’s Garden. We have been doing ongoing work there since 2005.

You may remember our lovely “green space” adjacent to our store in Del Ray  We didn’t sell plants but our sense of design and knowledge of plant material is something we enjoy passing on. We are..,,…good at it

We are providing consults now in preparation for early April 2017 work. We are currently working with three Del Ray clients and would love to meet with you to help with plantings advice/selection and garden bed design.  We currently work in collaboration with a local family owned landscaping company.
