Who We Are

An artist, horticulturalist, and permaculture designer, Cecīlija brings her botanical knowledge and artistic eye to garden design.

Her love of nature began as a country kid gardening with her family in their productive garden in Scone, NSW. After finishing her Bachelor of Visual Arts (Hons Class I) at Sydney College of the Arts, she moved to Tasmania where she practised as an artist and explored Tasmanian forests; this led her to begin formalising her learning about plants and soils. 

After nearly a decade working as a professional gardener, she made the move to design in order to marry her love of aesthetics and ecology. She designs rich ecosystems that take on a life of their own as they become populated by our native wildlife. Cecīlija wholly believes that gardening and gardens have the profound ability to move, heal, and transform us, connecting people to place and to each other in a way that fosters joy and wonder. 

When she’s not in her garden or photographing fungi in the bush, Cecīlija enjoys spending time with her family and hanging out with her dog, as well as working on her many creative projects.
