Christine retrained as a Landscape Designer at the University of Guelph and founded Somerset Garden Design. Horticulture is Christine’s passion, as she believes strongly in the restorative benefits of gardening and sharing the magic of nature with others.

We will conduct a site survey and document your needs for your garden. Following the initial meeting, we will send you a proposal which encompasses the fee structure and the design/build process. Following this, we will move to the design phase and will present concept plans prior to moving to a masterplan for hardscaping and softscaping.

This meeting will be followed up with preliminary designs.
