ABOUT  KATIE

My love of gardening began as a small child, working alongside my mom in our garden in Southeastern, Pennsylvania. I nurtured this hobby as it flourished into my profession after studying in Longwood Gardens's Professional Gardener Program.

​

After completing my degree at Longwood, I became the Head Horticulturist of a private estate in Chester County, with an array of gardens including, vegetable  & herb gardens, cut-flower garden, English-style perennial gardens, shade perennial gardens, formal tree allée, bog, pond & stream areas, ruin garden, Calamagrostis ornamental grass maze, high-volume bulb displays, and multiple outdoor container arrangements. 

 In Spring of 2020, I oversaw the installation of a garden designed by world renowned garden designer, Piet Oudolf.  Leading up to install, I sourced over 100 genera (over 17,000 plants in total) domestically and internationally for Oudolf's garden. The success of this garden has brought immense joy and I am grateful for the experience and opportunity to work with Piet.

As a PG graduate, garden-tender of diverse private estates in the Southeastern PA region, and globetrotter of gardens abroad, I utilize concepts cultivated from these three backgrounds in the landscapes and floral arrangements I create today.
