Growing up in the Pacific NW, Kat earned her Masters in Education at Central Washington State University. After retiring from the Bellevue Public School District she studied Horticultural Design at Edmonds Community College.

Kat takes responsibility for selecting plants, choosing containers, selecting garden furniture and artwork, and combining colors.

Kat is currently the secretary for the WA Chapter of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers. The organization is dedicated to promoting quality design, upholding high industry standards, and promoting environmentally sounds practices in the green industry. She was one of the designers of the APLDWA 2009 Northwest Flower and Garden Show exhibit.

Kat is the past chairperson of Picture Perfect Queen Anne, a volunteer group, working in conjunction with the City of Seattle and the Queen Anne Community Council to renovate and revitalize the commercial corridor on Queen Anne Hill. Land2c donated the planting design for the new planting beds at the Galer, McGraw, and Boston intersections. She is heading up the fundraising drive for their completion and maintenance. Kat is also active in the Northwest Horticultural Society and regularly attends lectures and horticultural classes.

She enjoys getting clients enthused about the process of designing their garden. “This should be FUN!—after all, its not brain surgery.” And, of course, she always enjoys teaching a little botany and soil science in the process.

Tim & Kat work closely with clients to ensure that each project meets the goals of the client and is a creative, high-quality design. Client satisfaction is important at Land2c.

They stay current in landscape design and architecture, horticulture, and the latest in sustainable practices by regularly attending educational presentations, touring gardens, reading current literature, and attending a variety of classes. They both enjoy traveling and studying new gardens for inspiration whenever possible. Both are active in the Washington Chapter of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers.
