Garden Magic Company is an earth-friendly landscape maintenance and garden design company. Ann Barklow started the company in Spring of 1985 in the California beach community of Manhattan Beach where she resides.
For 20 years, Garden Magic Company has provided a unique gardening service, tailoring design and care to meet the specific needs of each client. Crafted garden themes such as California natives, Cut flowers or Bird & Butterfly Gardens bring new life to tired residential landscapes. Edible gardens with fruit trees and vegetables of the right varieties for Southern California are grown without pesticides and harvested year-round. Flower beds and containers are kept looking fresh with perennials and annuals. Arborist consultations are provided. More About Services
Garden Magic Company also offers unique Design & Care Consultations - designed for the avid do-it-yourself gardener concerned about plant choices, design issues and overall garden health.
Garden Magic Company understands that healthy surroundings and a soil alive with beneficial organisms is the key to beautiful earth-friendly gardens. Fresh compost, mulch and organic fertilizers are used routinely to help build the healthiest soil foundation for each plant. As often as possible, garden amendments are gathered and recycled from the site or local sources. Learn more about earth-friendly gardens in Articles
Pest Management using time-tested organic methods by Ann Barklow is a Garden Magic Company speciality. Designed into every Garden Magic Company garden are flowering plants that provide nectar and attract beneficial birds and insects who help keep pests under control. No toxic pesticides are ever used. Plants that are magnets for pests are replaced with a selection that is more resistant. Garden Magic's attention to detail includes using only the best plant nurseries and hand-checking each plant before installation to make sure its the healthiest specimen available.
Ann Barklow's assistant, Mimi Andersen, has a background in fine arts and design that blends perfectly with Ann's horticultural and garden care knowledge and experience. Where most garden maintenance companies rush through each garden and only do extra things when requested by the owner, Ann and Mimi take the time to step back and really look at the landscape; asking what’s needed or missing and how the garden can thrive and look its best.
