In harmony with nature

Whatever your outdoor style, Emily Hastie at Kamo Marsh Landscape Architects offers her design ideas for a beautiful spring garden.

Landscape architects are experts at designing gardens that are both beautiful and functional. The team at Kamo Marsh begins every client relationship by considering each client’s budget, garden size and personal requirements.

Based in Christchurch and Queenstown, Kamo Marsh has built up a diverse portfolio of projects throughout the South Island and loves collaborating with the client to achieve a place that’s perfect for them.

“We are involved in the planning, design and project management of a wide variety of commercial and residential property projects,” says Emily, landscape architect. “There are several things we look at when we start to design a garden. But most importantly, it has to work for the client’s lifestyle.”

Emily has noticed a significant shift in clients wanting to make positive climate-friendly choices and greener standards. Many clients now consider the importance of planting to attract more wildlife and the significance of using sustainable resources which complement the environment.

“Often the people I work with feel a real sense of pride when they are working in harmony with nature and the environment in their own backyard,” says Emily.

This flair for working in unison with the environment demonstrates Emily’s expertise and enables her to achieve the very best from a garden, irrespective of its shape, size or aspect. “One of our skills is understanding different environments and knowing which plants and arrangements will work well within them.”

Spring and early summer are inspirational times as these seasons provide the opportunity to see gardens with fresh growth, and often in full bloom.

For the best results, Emily recommends preparing a landscape plan for the whole garden to create cohesion throughout the property. By doing so, you create long-term added value.
