WANTED: overgrown perennial cottage garden

17 years ago

i am looking for an experienced gardener/landscaper in western monmouth county, nj who enjoys perennial cottage gardening and would like to help to clean up and refurbish my very overgrown flower garden. my husband, who had always been a hands-on gardener, suffered a pretty severe heart attack in the late spring of 2006, and the garden has been very much ignored. While he has been working to make a full medical recovery, the garden has become an overgrown mess! Any help or recommendations of experienced and knowledgeable gardeners would be greatly appreciated!
