When visitors to our home enthusiastically admire our landscaping, we’d like to take the credit. But we must be honest and report “It’s all thanks to Charleen Maunsell of Potscapes.” We have engaged Charleen to design, install, and maintain several acres surrounding our home and pool in West Newbury since 2008. Charleen’s creativity has transformed our property into a showcase of blooming beauty through all the seasons. Furthermore, her knowledge and expertise assure that her plans do more than look good “on paper,” but that each carefully chosen specimen will thrive even in the most challenging gardening areas of our yard. We have also benefitted from Charleen’s beautiful exterior decorating for the Christmas season. She is always one step ahead of the changing New England seasons so that our home looks its very best all year long!

We feel very fortunate to have found Charleen a few years ago, when we needed help with our yard. We had just finished a major construction project, and the yard needed a complete makeover. Charleen began with a detailed design, taking into account our preferences, form and function in every season, and plant lifecycle. Over several years, she has systematically brought this design to life, first building the layout, and then filling it in with plantings. She has been a partner in maintenance, equally willing to do the work or show us how. We are grateful to Charleen for our magnificent garden, which becomes more beautiful every year!

Charleen helped me create a large garden from a largely ‘blank slate’. She is very knowledgeable about plant material, and encourages her clients to grow native plants as much as possible for ease of maintenance. One of the things that impressed me when I first began working with her is that she really listens to her clients – what color preferences they have, favorite flowers, shrubs and trees – and incorporates them into the design as much as possible. She will also provide you with invaluable advice about the future maintenance of your garden.

What I love about working with Charleen is her wealth of knowledge and creativity. My vision becomes beautiful reality from patio pots to garden make-overs. I am delighted with the results of each project we complete and I'm always coming up with new ones! I will continue to work with Charleen on planning, planting and maintenance for years to come.
