What a pleasure and a surprise to work with Dee Dice as a consultant; someone so competent and generous with their considerable experience in the field of horticulture, retail and landscape design. My business of 25 years, Wilder Hill Gardens was growing and at a vital turning point. Dee worked with me to  access my skills and assets, and how to reimagine them working together to create the future I imagined. Not only that, Dee regularly generated clever new ideas that worked!  She is practical and original in her thinking, Dee even took me to a trade show and introduced me to many of her colleagues and suppliers. I felt energized and prepared to shape the future of my nursery, in a way that reflects my changing needs, as well as market realities.

Through my experience working with and for Dee, as an employee, as a partner, and as a fellow volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters, I always found her to be organized, creative, and persistent in accomplishing her goals.

This is especially evident through her success in running her long-time business, Eden Market and Garden Center, on Martha’s Vineyard. Throughout her almost 30 years in business Dee tirelessly ran the store; keeping things innovative, fresh, and inviting. She was not afraid to try something new, and if it didn’t work out she learned from the experience and moved forward. This is how her store evolved.

As an independent filmmaker I loved working with Dee  -  She has an expertise in how small businesses operate, and with that in hand it always seems that Dee has an intuitive sense of how to help facilitate our company's growth and build toward our future goals.  I appreciate her depth of knowledge, ability to clearly articulate and collaborate strategically, while maintaining her sensitivity and creativity in problem solving. Dee makes working with a business consultant a pleasure, and I highly recommend her.

I would highly recommend Dee Dice. I was delighted to reconnect with her a year ago as a business consultant after knowing her as a friend 20 years ago.
We have been working together since March 2019.
Dee is professional, thoughtful and expedites what needs to be done in a timely manner.
She has been a great person to work with in selling my business.
She is pleasant and knows the challenges of small businesses.

Dee did a terrific job in her position as Small Business Coordinator at Valley Community Development and was an asset to our organization. She has excellent written and verbal communication skills, is extremely organized, can work independently, has competent computer skills/literacy, and is able to effectively multi-task to ensure that all activities/projects are completed in a timely manner. She was always willing to offer her assistance and had an excellent rapport with consumers, peers, co-workers, board members, other professional organizations, and with me as her supervisor. Dee’s networking skills are exceptional and highly effective. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any endeavor she chooses to pursue.

Dee Dice saved the small business program at Valley Community Development, after a series of staffing issues stalled us from moving forward. She organized and executed a 1.5 M grants program in an efficient and professional manor, unflinchingly as both program and staffing changed repeatedly. Her final reports were clear, concise and detailed and her relationship with both staff and grant supervisors were consistently cheerful, positive and responsive. Dee delivered this program on time and on budget. I appreciate her dedication and loyalty to Valley Community Development and her flexibility and professionalism against many odds in delivering this program.

So many things you worked on with me have made a positive impact on my business - too many to name. Thanks for your help, advice, and willingness to share your business experiences with me.
