About
Meet Kathryn
Hello! I’m Kathryn—horticulturist, garden designer, and owner of Sea Blush Garden & Design.
Why the name “Sea Blush?” Also known by its Latin name Plectritis congesta, Sea Blush is my favourite wildflower native to the Pacific Northwest. Blooming in spring, it inhabits the grassy ocean bluffs and rocky slopes that I love to explore here on Vancouver Island.
My horticultural journey began in 2023, when left a 20-year career in corporate and non-profit communications for a profession I am madly in love with. I have completed Level 3 of the Landscape Horticulture Apprenticeship Program and will take Level 4 in 2027 towards earning my Red Seal.
I am passionate about helping people connect with plants and making their outdoor spaces beautiful and uniquely individual to them, while encouraging biodiversity and supporting pollinators. My priority is to listen carefully to what my clients envision for their garden and make those dreams come true. I believe in creating meaningful connections with my clients through collaborative and fun working relationships.
When I am not in the garden, you can find me exploring and hiking Vancouver Island with my partner and children, baking, painting and reading.
Owner, Sea Blush Garden & Design
