Motivation

When I was sixteen years old, I realized my life was in for a change. At thirteen years old, I started my landscaping business. After a few years, I was mowing close to eighteen lawns on a bi-weekly basis. I decided it would be a tough business to continue at the age of sixteen years old. Soon after, I got my first offer to design and build the front entrance garden to a home, right down the street from my home. Right then, I knew I was in the right business. I loved the sequence of planting a garden- designing, shopping for plants and then the planting/mulching part. I had always loved gardens- and now I was creating them all over for other people to enjoy. For them, it was the color, textures and scents of the flowers I planted. For me- it was witnessing the happiness, smiles and gratitude that my clientele had towards my creativity. There is nothing better in this world then making someone else happy. Today, I operate as Jamestown Gardens on the Island known as Jamestown. Jamestown is a town located in Rhode Island. Our office is located at 57 Narragansett ave, Jamestown, RI 02835.

Moss


Moss Covers the imperfections in the earth and makes them perfect... Naturally! 

Several gardeners, and many homeowners have started gearing towards the use of moss in their gardens. Now imagine taking a chunk of that natural perfection and plopping it right on your tabletop! How fantastic would that look? Moss is soothing to the soul, fun to touch and add's a beautiful accent to any indoor or outdoor area.



You can even put moss inside your table!


You can create these masterpieces for virtually nothing... take a hike through the woods, or go into a shady part of your yard and grab a chunk from the earth. You can transplant moss very easily... spritz (not soak) it with some water and you are all set. Have fun!
