As a garden designer in East Sussex I've been fortunate to work on a variety of projects in the past few years from city courtyards to large family gardens, tricky sloping sites and even two sensory gardens for schools. Each one brought its own unique challenges but with my creative vision and lots of hard work, I'm proud to say that my clients have been thrilled with the results.
So whether yours is a small, scrubby backyard or several acres of lush rolling countryside, I'd be delighted to take a look and give you a quote. With 20 years of experience in horticulture and design, an in-depth knowledge of contemporary and historic gardens as well as a heartfelt love of plants and nature, I aim to design the garden that's perfect for you.

I PASSIONATELY BELIEVE a well-designed garden is one that looks harmonious with its surroundings. Working with both the natural environment, style of house as well as the wider landscape, I interpret my clients' wishes to ensure the gardens I create are not just visually stunning but look as if they were always meant to be there.
A design for a whole garden with a survey, layout plan, setting out & construction plans and planting plans. Kristina can also offer annual (or more regular) visits to monitor the garden's progress and maintain the integrity of the design over time. Planting Plan fees are variable depending on the size of the planting bed(s), the location of the garden and the level of service required.
It all begins with an on-site visit by Kristina to discuss your requirements, explore your ideas and 'wish list', identify your needs and establish a budget. Kristina will get a general feel for your garden, its terrain, setting and current layout.
Following this meeting you will receive a written copy of the Design Brief composed by Kristina based on the information attained during the consultation, plus a Proposal for the cost of the design and contract to sign and return to proceed with the project.Design fees are variable depending on a garden's size, location, the design brief requirements and level of service required.

I highly recommend Kristina. Our garden was a blank canvas when she started with a few challenging aspects such as a nearby footpath and an electricity pole to hide. She has created a really beautiful garden for us, always taking into account our wishes every step of the way. Her attention to detail is amazing and her knowledge of design and plants very in depth.

I have just had my garden designed and planted up and am so looking forward to seeing my garden emerge over the coming year.
Kristina designed my garden as part of a planning condition as I have bats! My remit to her was for plants for a wildlife loving garden without too much maintenance required. She suggested a range of plants and design that I wouldn't have thought of and worked hard and efficiently in the mud to plant up the garden. Just waiting for Spring for bulbs to emerge.

I was also very impressed at how hard she worked, both on the design and on planting up the garden! She is also a pleasure to work with.

We are thrilled with the transformation of our garden. Kristina’s clever design, knowledge of plants and attention to detail is fantastic. We have had lots of compliments on the garden already and are looking forward to seeing it come to life in the Spring. Kristina is very professional and open to listening to her client. We felt very engaged in the process and appreciated how easy it was to communicate with her and share feedback. We would highly recommend Kristina - she is a pleasure to work with.
