What they’re saying

  • “Working with Rachel at Goldenrod Design for garden coaching has been an incredible experience. Rachel is not only thorough, but also truly invested in making sure I understood the 'why' behind her recommendations.

    Laura Star

  • “I had a wonderful experience working with Goldenrod Design. Rachel helped me with two projects this year, a kitchen vegetable garden and a perennial border garden. After we talked about my goals for each project, Rachel developed designs that perfectly captured the look and function I was hoping for. She also provided coaching sessions, which I found very valuable and fun. Rachel is knowledgable, friendly, and passionate. I look forward to continuing to work with Rachel for years to come!”

    Fran Hodgins

  • “Amazing from start to finish. Shared a few photos of what I envisioned and she got it exactly right. She selected an assortment of my favorite plants/shrubs and added her own ideas and good style to the mix and created a beautiful design. She was able to find all of the various plants even off-season and installed them. Project added to both my enjoyment of my property as well as enhances curb appeal and property value. Extremely professional. Highly recommend.”

    Stacey Lambert

  • “I worked with Rachel in planning my wildflower garden. Her knowledge of native wildflowers and when things bloom for endless pops of color throughout the season was incredible. I’m very excited for what’s to come this spring & summer!.”

    Holidae Rochman

  • “Rachel Babin, dba Goldenrod Designs, is on a mission to help people deepen their commitment to, and enjoyment of, nature. She has helped us immensely in this regard. From 'seed to table' and from individual to family and social groups she does this with unlimited passion, backed up with a lot of certified study and experience, deep in the ground and in the brain. She views gardening as a path to happy family homesteads; we know what it means to having first learned gardening from our parents, and now, from her. Her personal narrative is as important as the work she does, and I recommend reading it on the Goldenrod Design website. She accomplishes all this with an infectious smile.”
