Where to begin? We have more than seven acres of lawn and gardens, and thanks to Nathan and Zach, they have never looked so perfect. Last year, Urban Eden customized flower beds to create a glorious late-summer wedding on our property. They manage the vast amounts of leaves that fall from our oaks and maples each autumn. They even installed a towering antique, cast-iron fountain I bought in Europe and thought would remain in storage for the rest of my lazy life. I'm an author with sixteen bestselling books to my credit. I travel constantly, and Nathan has given me one of the most beautiful gardens I've seen in the world.
