  Kathryn has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She took the time to really understand our vision and created a beautiful, thoughtful masterplan that perfectly suits our home and lifestyle. Her design balanced creativity with practicality, and she brought a calm, collaborative energy to every meeting. We felt heard throughout the process, and her attention to detail was amazing. We’re so excited to bring the plan to life and can’t recommend Kathryn highly enough to anyone looking for a landscape designer who blends expertise with heart.

  I had a blank canvas and Glitter & Leaves worked closely with me to develop a beautiful concept design for our garden. The end package was very well constructed and a great resource for my garden journey. We get a lot of positive feedback on our garden, and I highly recommend Glitter & Leaves for making the process enjoyable, informative and most importantly successful!

  Kat aka Glitter and Leaves came to give us some ideas for greening up the common areas of our Wollongong Apartment block. She was absolutely wonderful! She took into consideration the feel of the gardens already in place, our ideas, and concerns of some of the other residents. Kat has great suggestions for native alternatives to non natives and included species endemic to the area in her plan. At the end of the consultation she drew us up a plan which seems perfectly fitting to the place. We would highly recommend Glitter and Leaves and can't wait to get planting!

  We loved Kathryn visiting us today for advice on improvements to our garden. We've just moved into our new home - the garden is established but we needed some expert help pointing us in the right direction for environmentally sensitive & sustainable modifications. Kathryn was exactly what we needed - one of those amazing people who is both incredibly professional and super personable, providing considered horticultural perspectives, an aesthetic eye, and genuine interest in our ideas. We felt really encouraged moving forward and so glad to know she is there for follow-up. Highly recommend! Mike & Dom, Balgownie

  Kathryn is well educated in the science of plants and garden design yet retains a particularly practical approach. Her design is for a garden that is aesthetically pleasing, low maintenance and environmentally friendly. I love the use of so many native plants. I highly recommend Glitter and Leaves.

  We have had the pleasure of working with Understory on a school nature play project and I can't recommend them enough. They have so beautifully listened to the community and with such consideration and sensitivity of what came before as well as their own creativity and ideas coming to shape the space. They are so passionate and knowledgable about what they do and have worked collaboratively with us every step of the way
