Swamp Rose Co-op

Lovely staff, so I feel a bit churlish writing a sourpuss review, but... I shopped in late July, when the inventory looked more than a bit peaked. Maybe had I shopped in mid May... Much of what I saw was tired and leggy -- and overpriced. For me this was a "one and done" plant-buying experience.

I had an exceptional experience with Swamp Rose Coop and highly recommend this business. I have used other native plant garden services and what sets SRC apart is the knowledge and care put into the stewardship of native plant gardens by the entire team of professionals. My yard is an ecologically sensitive slope abutting a watershed with patches of original natives on the property that I maintain in more of a restoration manner than garden-like manner. Cesar and the team were flexible in how they helped me maintain these areas and were willing to take the time to communicate and understand how I wanted each bed to be treated. The commitment to ecological gardening and professionalism of this team is top notch!

Jeff and team's work is spectacular. They listened closely to my request to rebuild my retaining wall, improve drainage away from the rowhome, and install a pocket prairie. Their suggestions were all closely aligned with my aesthetic and capacity for maintenance care. More importantly, they were patient and persistent venders. DC permitting gave me bad advice on the types of permit needed, and failed to alert me to the need for a plan to be approved to avoid harming the historic ginkgos on my street. The Swamp Rose team patiently and independently submitted all necessary materials (after I approved them) in order to successfully adn legally complete the project. I am so grateful for them and look forward to submitting photos as my pocket prairie grows in over time.

I love my garden from Swamp Rose Co-op! My backyard gets very little sun and I am a novice gardener, so I asked for shade-tolerant native plants that would be easy to take care of. The Swamp Rose team designed a beautiful garden and planted it in September 2023. Nearly two years later, my garden is thriving with very little input on my part. The three pictures with fully grown plants were taken just now, with no filtering or edits; even though I went out of town during this week's heat wave, the plants are still doing great! The picture with lots of little plants shows what the garden looked like when it was first planted, so you can see how much everything has grown. I am so grateful to have this oasis of beauty in my backyard. Thank you, Swamp Rose Co-op! (Edited because Google Reviews changed the order of my photos.)

So happy we chose to work with Swamp Rose. Jeff is passionate about his work, and he has an eye for landscape design. His team does great work and we are very satisfied with the outcome. Looking forward to seeing our native plant garden grow and make our pollinators happy for years to come!
