Designer Profile

Kristina Clode MSGD

Garden designer, horticulturist and garden historian Kristina Clode has won numerous awards including the SGD ‘Design for the Environment' Award in 2022 & 2021 and the coveted SGD Judge’s award in 2021. Based near Rye in East Sussex Kristina works on all sorts of projects from small gardens to large estates as well as school and community projects. With an in-depth knowledge of contemporary and historic gardens as well as a heartfelt love of plants and nature, Kristina aims to design the garden that’s perfect for you.

Kristina passionately believes that a well-designed garden is one that looks harmonious with its surroundings. Working with both the natural environment, style of house as well as the wider landscape, she interprets her clients' wishes to ensure the gardens created are not just visually stunning but look as if they were always meant to be there. Using a fusion of both ornamental and native planting, Kristina’s designs encourage wildlife into the garden to create a vibrant haven for all and a feast for the senses.
