Reviews of Man in Overalls (Gardener)

Geneva Maxwell

The whole experience felt surreal. We just don’t see this kind of teaching everyday. I feel more kids and families could benefit from learning to grow their own foods. He comes up with a game plan and helps you execute that plan. He also teaches you why, where, and how to do everything. Our take away from it was the learning experience, the responsibility of caring for our garden, the tools needed, and the bond and memories it creates. Every time we walk by our garden it makes us smile. Thanks Nathan!

Man in Overalls ( Nate) did a fabulous job putting in the vegetable garden of my dreams! He is passionate, knowledgeable, and completely professional. I have herbs, flowers, and lots of beautiful veggies growing in planter boxes he built to order, with his amazing, mega rich magic mix soil. I highly recommend his work!

Fabulous gardening experience, the first season I harvested 6 huge pots of collards, loads and loads of lettuce, herbs, 6 heads of cauliflower, turnips, and beets! Well worth the money.

Great experience! Nathan knows his gardens and asked great questions to help me with mine. In a short time he got me to a place I couldn’t have gotten to alone. Here’s my garden after only 10 days. So much joy in my yard right now... can’t wait to share the bounty.

My wife and I took Nathan's garden planning class and really enjoyed it. Nathan makes the whole veggie growing process not seem so intimidating.

Nathan provided efficient, thoughtful, and courteous service. He delivered soil to my new raised bed in a small community garden. He also coordinated a top-off delivery for a friend in the same garden which resulted in a discount to us both. Not only did he deliver, he shoveled everything in and smoothed it out so it is ready to go. While he worked he shared pointers for success. It was effortless. Worth every penny and then some.

I met Nathan thru one of his free lectures and was very happy to learn about his unique service. Nathan will not only build your raised beds, he will be with you every step of the way, from helping you choose the best site in your garden, to supplying you with the best soil (his own Magic Mix), to suggesting what to plant depending on the season, and installing your own micro-irrigation. My vegetables are healthy and pesticide-free, I am growing my own food!

I love the Man in Overalls! He and his colleague Valerie helped me by bringing me the soil I needed to get my garden started! From the moment I received the estimate, all the way through to receiving the Magic Mix delivery to now, I knew that I had made the right decision to work with them for my food garden. Their high level of customer service and professionalism, and thoughtful advice have been vital sources of support for my journey as a food gardener. Life's looking pretty great now that I have what I needed to start my food gardener. I'm excited for my future in planting and growing nourishing food for my family and friends!

It was a pleasure working with Nathan AKA The Man in Overalls. I am a novice gardener and appreciated the "turn-key" service. Nathan helped me select the location of my garden boxes, provided recommendations on brands, presented cost options, assembled the boxes, installed an irrigation system, and filled the boxes with "magic mix" soil. He then guided me in planting summer hardy vegetables, herbs and flowers. It has been a pleasure to watch the garden grow, and I look forward to a bountiful harvest. Nathan returned about 5 weeks after planting to provide a check-up and replace a few plants which had not thrived. He also provided advice on maintenance and harvesting. Highly recommend!

Nathan did everything he promised to do and with excellence! The Man in Overalls created a beautiful turnkey garden and will provide the support to sustain the garden long term.

The Magic Mix was beautiful and was delivered with care and very professionally. You made a soil mix that is second to none in our area. You had it delivered and shoveled to the garden area of my choice. For food gardeners, you provide support with any area of gardening including setting up raised beds, trellising, planting, classes, the works! I think that the only thing that I haven't seen you do is harvest for your customers. :) I get therapy from my garden. Life is hectic and stressful. Mine has become more stressful in 2019. I invested in my garden so it is an investment in my mental well being. It's also an investment in my physical well being, because I'm expecting to harvest lots of healthy food that I've planted myself. I love when seeds germinate. I love when flowers bloom. I love when bees mistake me for flowers. I love the warmth inside of the fruit when I bite into it. It's like tasting sunshine. I love to see and share the fruits of my labor. Those are the reasons that I give Man in Overalls and his team (Don and Val) five stars!

Exactly what you want if you are starting a backyard garden!!! Everything went so smooth. Communications were great and I feel lucky to have found such a knowledgeable gardner to give me some help and pointers! Nathan’s Magic Mix is true to its name...the plants love it!
