To whom it may concern
I am writing this as a letter of reference for Dennis Madeleine from Permalife Services who has assisted me in the setting up, preparation and planting of my vegetable garden.
He has also helped me with the care of my small orchard in the pruning, fertilising and general care of the trees. Denis is a very skilled and knowledgable permaculture practitioner who uses his abilities as well as the resources available to maximise the value of your garden.
He is a hard worker and certainly has given me value for oney in relation to this project. I could not recommend Denis highly enough to those wanting to set a permaculture garden.
Please don’t hesitate to call me if you want a verify this reference.

​
Our family first retained Excel Garden Care, of which Denis is the principal, more than 8 years ago to provide that service continuously since then.
​
Over the years we have come to know Denis well and rely on him absolutely in everything to do with the car of our garden. We trust his advice and value his honesty, reliability, proactivity and commitment and his work are always of a very high standard. When we relocated to Melbourne for majority of 2003 we were happy to leave the care of the garden entirely up to Denis and trusted him to make the right decisions, carry out the work he thought necessary and bill us accordingly.
​
In addition to his professional qualities, Denis is friendly and cheerful and gets on well with all the members of the family. We are so sorry to see Denis move away from Sydney and would not hesitate to re-engage him if he were to return.

My husband and I have known Denis for over seven years, during which time he has attended our garden and that of my elderly mother.
​
Denis is knowledgeable in his areas of expertise. I have found Denis to be honest, trustworthy and polite. He is reliable and always keeps me informed about when he will be attending to our garden. Many neighbours have asked for his card and admire his work. I regard Denis as a friend who is kind and interested in the world around him.
​
I have no hesitation in recommending Denis Madeleine.
