First, we want to make everyone aware that Botanical Creations has expanded services to offer. We are now licensed as a landscape contractor and would love the opportunity to provide written estimates for any or all phases of landscape installations. In order to insure that your garden grows into all that it can be, we also offer maintenance service; weekly, monthly, or seasonally as needed.

We have been investing time and energy to our website www.coverthedirt.com recently, and would love to receive any feedback. Please look around and provide your email address to be added to our newsletter in the future.

If there are any images of your project posted on our website and you do not want them to be, please let us know, and they will be removed immediately. As for everyone else, if you don’t contact us, we assume your approval, and are grateful
to you for the use of
those images!

We would also like to express our appreciation for your business in the past, present, or future. Here’s hoping you have a wonderful holiday season!!!
