PRINCIPLES
Kate works independently on residential gardens and collaborates with architects, landscape architects, interior designers and fellow designers on larger commissions — contributing design concept, detailing and planting expertise.
Three principles run through everything:
Creativity - strong ideas, clear structure, refined detail.
Care - calm, honest guidance from brief to completion.
Collaboration - the right landscapers, craftspeople, growers and nurseries, brought in early and coordinated closely so gardens are built beautifully and built to last.
