    I’ve been utilizing Valerie (Mist and Moss LLC) for almost a year now. I can attest to her diligence, keen eye for detail and knowledge of everything she does. She has taken over what my mother and father started over 30 years ago and has maintained and, improved their garden areas around my house now. If you’re considering someone to “take charge” of your garden areas then, do yourselves a big plus and talk to her. She treats every project as if it were her own ❤️!!

    Valerie is my garden designer/caretaker; she is connected and a wealth of knowledge about native habitats that enhance the coexistence of all living creatures. For a year, Valerie has been tending to my land removing invasives and redesigning gardens and adding fruit trees.

    If you live in Western North Carolina, I highly recommend you reach out to Mist and Moss LCC.
