Testimony
We engaged NatureMakers to plan and design a microforest for the Springvale Botanical Cemetery and our experience with the team has been excellent. Anna and Daniel were not only easy to work with, but they also expressed a genuine passion and interest in the project outcomes. The team provided an engaging and collaborative approach from start to finish and offered sound suggestions that added to the quality of the microforest designs. We are so excited to now take these designs to the next stage and see our project come to life.
