Robyn knows her stuff!

Robyn Crickett has been working in my property during Winter and in Spring preparing it for the Rotary Garden Festival, in November 2019. She knows her stuff! She works hard and quickly, barely pausing for lunch – her approach is passionate, intelligent and she has a huge knowledge of plants and shrubs.
I enjoy Robyn being here doing the work and she also communicates with me continuously so that I am aware of what is happening. She also takes into consideration as to what plants/shrubs/trees I might like. Intelligent and knowledgeable decisions plus a very very hard worker are just a couple of things I say in recommendation of her business to work for you.

Hard worker - fantastic ideas

Robyn at Garden Control has been working with me for much of 2019 to get a garden ready for the Rotary Cambridge Garden Festival in November.  It is a difficult garden, with several steep banks, and we are thrilled with her suggestions of plants and her extremely hard work in getting the garden all sorted out and planted.  I highly recommend Robyn and Garden Control.

The Owner – Robyn Crickett

Hi! I'm Robyn, owner of Garden Control.

Qualified as a Landscape Designer at Lincoln University, Canterbury, in 1981, I have produced and implemented landscape plans for residential, commercial and government owned properties in the Waikato region including Cambridge, Pauanui and Tairua over the succeeding 20 years. A couple of examples of large-scale landscape designs I created include Moondance Manor, Tamahere and the grounds and building of The Boatshed Cafe, Karapiro. I designed and implemented the planting at these properties and oversaw the hard landscape construction works.

After 18 years working in other sectors, I have returned to my roots, my passion - landscape gardening. I know from years of not having the time to be in my garden because of working elsewhere, that there are others who need exactly the services I offer here. As well as carrying out a top-class maintenance service, I am able to give expert advice on planting and styling of properties, offering a wealth of knowledge and experience in landscape gardening.

I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your garden's needs.
