I still remember Rich's grin when he assured me that we could absolutely make that happen...my "black thumb" didn't scare him in the least! So our journey together started out with a very unassuming cutting—essentially, a bare stick stuck in a pot of dirt. As the growing season progressed, I peppered Rich with all sorts of worries: Was it in the right spot? Did it need more water? Why wasn't it leafing out yet? Rich fielded each of my questions with thoughtful care, guiding me every step of the way and even helping me source special fertilizer and a soil supplement, which I never would've thought to try! And sure enough...this year I was blessed with my first-ever plumeria blossoms, as beautiful and fragrant as you could imagine! I was ecstatic and (as history has proven) I never could've done it without Rich. His passion for nature is clear, and it makes him exceptional at what he does. I'm so lucky our paths crossed—he's magic!” — Francesca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f50909e6f46934825a7aaa9/1626203755554-4C2SSRB6R7FLKW22WDYL/216581001_10166029706585019_1217426602323252285_n.jpg Reviews - “A few weeks ago I posted looking for some help with planting for our garden beds in my preschool. Rich Quintana replied he would love to- came over, saw the space, drew up a gorgeous plan, sent me a detailed easy to understand list of plants to purchase that would be appropriate for my preschoolers (sensory, smelling, edible and touching flowers!) and then came back again this morning with his lovely wife and planted them together with the preschoolers. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Rich is a master and beyond experienced with Garden Design! Highly recommend him! We feel so blessed!” — Chana Kahanov, Pre-school owner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f50909e6f46934825a7aaa9/1606606943785-QD2P4Y7F3352ZUVPP1RK/image-asset.jpeg Reviews - “Rich has always been my go-to-guy for any questions I have about any plant. But having him scope out our greenhouse and come up with a wonderful planting design was fantastic. Now we have a blueprint (complete with drawings!) on what to plant, where to plant them, and when. We couldn’t be any happier. Thank you Sunflower Garden Design!” — Eron Garcia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f50909e6f46934825a7aaa9/1606606669516-ICTEZ0RHN46Z5K6QBX85/image-asset.jpeg Reviews - “Rich is my go-to guy for all my gardening questions, no matter how random. Whether it’s “why is my plant looking so pitiful?” or “I saw this, while out walking... what the heck IS it?” or even “how do I get the ladybugs to stay in my yard?!?” he always has the answer. Rich’s store of plant knowledge is extensive, and his love of nature and excitement about unique plants is infectious... He is also extremely responsive and personable... Give him a call. You won’t be sorry!” — Jocelyn Steffen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f50909e6f46934825a7aaa9/1606607290826-O3OJE5W6BW5PPLBUIUUA/image-asset.jpeg Reviews - “When my wife and I bought our first home, we were complete and total newbies when it came to landscaping - annual, perennial, millennial – it was all Greek to us. Rich came to us via a friend and he did a great job educating us walking around the nursery and helped guide us to make intelligent choices that matched our desired look. He made the whole process easy and fun and most importantly, we really liked the way our yard turned out both initially and in the years that followed. Rich has the personality to make the process unintimidating for newbies like us but combines it with the deep landscape knowledge that makes him equally well-suited to more experienced gardeners.” — Mark Evans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f50909e6f46934825a7aaa9/1606607106750-1QH4T8ECAMNZOZCPJVSV/image-asset.jpeg Reviews - “My family and I have known Rich for many years now. His wealth of information about plants, trees, flowers, nature and all things garden is extremely vast. The advice he has given us about our yard has always been spot on.
