Matt Gatehouse is the founder of The Mindful Gardeners (aka Just Gardens). For nearly a decade, he's been serving Mid-Vancouver Island, especially the Ladysmith area, with a focus on transforming outdoor spaces. What started as a one-person business has grown into a skilled team dedicated to quality work, with lasting results.
Who are the Mindful Gardeners?
Also known as Just Gardens, The Mindful Gardeners provide full-service outdoor maintenance, from lawn care and hedge management to snow clearing. We serve residential and commercial clients, offering flexible options for one-time jobs or ongoing care.
Our focus is delivering results that look great now and reduce future maintenance, ensuring your space stays beautiful and is easy to manage.
Matt started this work as a hobby and really started to enjoy it, could find his mojo and would give him peace and be happy. So he came up with the Just Gardens brand and started to grow (unlike the weeds) and take on employees.
In his spare time, he enjoys watching YouTube videos and podcasts around gardening, and follows the Pittsburgh Penguins (loves Mariel Lemieux).
