Design

A garden is not only a collection a plants, it is a space we move through and relate to daily. It is a habitat, a place of color and texture, and a measure of the passage of time and season. To design the right garden for you and your space, we will discuss key points: your goals, your aesthetic, the existing pain points of the space, the constraints surrounding the project, and then proceed to layout and design to create a space and garden that reflects your vision.

I work mostly with natives, because they are best suited to thrive in the unique environment of the Outer Cape, but do not comply strictly to this planting pallet. I like to work with structure and texture, color, shape, and to consider the rest of the senses often overlooked in garden design: the sounds, smells, and overall feel of the space. I believe gardens should be beautiful in all their seasons, be impactful from afar, and striking in their finest details.
