About Us

Live Simply Horticulture is not just a service for you and your loved ones, it's a way of life.

Owner & Operator, Lindsay Jennings, began Live Simply Horticulture in 2011 while living in rural Alberta. After moving back home to the Maritimes in 2018, the business transitioned with her. What was a large-scale turf-care business grew into a permaculture based approach and added therapeutic horticulture services. While the business continues to grow and change, it always remains a small, locally focused, business.

Lindsay has extensive knowledge, education, and experience in turf care and horticulture services with sites ranging from championship golf courses, recreation fields, farmland, extensively manicured landscapes, to your own little backyard!

"I believe that life shouldn't be a rush to the finish line. It's meant to be enjoyed and cherished every day with the people in our lives, and in the places that we love.  Creating a place of enjoyment at our home is an essential part of enjoying every day together. The outside is just as important as the inside when it comes to living comfortably. When we can design our landscape to be self-sufficient and aid in our mental health, we all win." - Lindsay
