"Working with Merry Ellen has been one of the most transformative experiences of my entire home-building and garden journey. When we began, my yard was nothing more than compacted clay soil. Dry, lifeless, and seemingly unusable. Today, my edible garden is thriving, vibrant, productive, and full of life, and it wouldn't exist without her."

"Working with Merry Ellen was such a gift. She is an incredible gardener and soil health expert and her guidance was completely tailored to my land and needs. She helped me rebuild the soil and create a clear plan to grow vibrant herbal medicines, flowers, and
vegetables. The best part is that she taught me a soil health formula I can now use anywhere. I'm so grateful I invested in her guidance and highly recommend her."

"There are so many amazing physical and metaphorical things to be discovered in garden and I'm really grateful for Merry Ellen for giving me the space and encouragement
to continue growing."

"Working with Merry Ellen changed my life, my relationship to the Earth, my garden, and my health through beautiful homegrown food. I am endlessly grateful for the lifelong gift of a new relationship with the Earth,
and believing that I can overcome the obstacles that arise in gardening and persevere for the best outcome. I have the highest recommendation for Merry Ellen Ackema, working with her is life-changing."
