Kate Turney
Kate a landscape designer and citizen-urban-naturalist who began working in horticulture in 1998 and has been designing gardens and landscapes in NYC since 2005.
She studied landscape construction design at the London School of Garden Design at Kew Gardens, and landscape design and urban naturalism at the New York Botanical Garden as well as with John Brookes and with Green Roofs for Healthy Cities.
Kate has a broad industry background, having transitioned to the field from print graphic design by first working with a 150 year old wholesale nursery in the Maryland countryside, then working as designer-project manager at regional landscape design/build studios.
Before transitioning to landscape design, she studied fine arts, journalism, and international relations for six years in Baltimore, Paris, and Cairo.
She loves to tour historic and contemporary gardens on her travels, to draw and paint native flora, fauna and cities, and to “garden snorkle” with binoculars and a jewelers loupe in the backyard (totally wowed by bright colors and patterns of insects and birds).
