Welcome to Botanica Garden Design
I’m Zoë Cousens, the founder of Botanica, based in my home island of Guernsey. I come from a family of horticulturalists and as a student of the British Academy of Garden Design, I’ve spent many years helping people transform their outdoor areas into special places to enjoy nature. I believe a garden is much more than just an outdoor space – it’s an extension of your home, a place to relax, recharge and connect with family and friends.
Whether you’re dreaming of a complete garden makeover, a new planting concept, or simply a fresh touch of inspiration, my goal is to bring your vision to life and create a garden that truly works for you.
At Botanica Garden Design, I offer:
Creative planting schemes - from patio pots to complete garden transformations
Expert collaboration - with landscapers for decking & patios, and my growing network of trusted suppliers of outdoor furniture, pergolas, saunas, fire pits and more
Maintenance packages - regular care or holiday upkeep to ensure your garden stays looking fabulous
Indoor planting schemes - for homes and offices
Budding Gardener Workshops - to learn gardening skills
Cultivating Growth Course - a journey through Gardening & Life: join this course to find balance, mindfulness and a deeper connection with nature and yourself.
Event Styling - bring the garden to your event with creative and sustainable planting concepts
Every project is a partnership, and I’m here to guide you with ideas, expertise, creativity and a love for nature. Together, we can shape your garden into a beautiful, functional and welcoming space to suit your lifestyle.
