Merce and Elies are delightful guests. They worked extremely hard in the garden making an amazing difference in the short time they were with us. They are also interesting, fun to be with, respectful and generous. We can’t recommend them highly enough, and hope they will come back again…soon!

I don't know what happened I left feedback a few weeks ago but for some reason it didn't show! Mercè & Elies worked very hard and made our garden look beautiful. They know a great deal about gardening and we were grateful for their help and advice. They are friendly and easy going and we would recommend them to any potential host.
