At Vetiver, our garden design service is a thoughtful collaboration between site, client, and nature, led by Emmeline’s intuitive approach. Her style is not a fixed aesthetic but a site-specific response to each location’s unique qualities and the client’s vision. Whether designing structured, formal gardens for city homes or loose, relaxed plantings that seamlessly blend with country surroundings, Emmeline’s work blurs the line between cultivated and wild landscapes.
She delights in crafting dynamic gardens with a refined palette—from deep emeralds to vibrant, acidic greens—layering texture to create immersive, evolving environments. These gardens are designed to thrive, becoming enduring spaces for you to enjoy for years to come.
From the initial, complimentary site visit to the plant selection, and sourcing furniture, sculptural pieces, and accessories, we ensure that every detail is carefully considered. Our involvement spans the entire project, ensuring a cohesive vision from start to finish.

To our wonderful clients—you likely already know Arianna, your go-to gal for the summer planter design season.
She really does it all here at Vetiver (and somehow manages to look gorgeous doing it, even with dirt on her face, which, let`s be honest is most of the time when we`re `in it`)!
You’ll be seeing plenty of her along with the rest of the team while Emmeline rests at home with her very new baby.
We always phase our clients’ pots according to the weather. If we’ve had a heads-up that they’d like hydrangeas, it usually means waiting until mid-season, when the weather is kinder (easier said than done these days), but for many, the reward of being greeted by marshmallow clouds every day is worth it.
If you’re like us and already dreaming up your spring planter creations, here’s a few tips:
*Incorporate branches for immediate structure and impact while you are waiting for those bulbs to bloom
*bulk it up with spring flowering perennials like rhododendron, hellebores or forsythia for enduring colour. They can be repurposed in your garden later too!
*pansies are a great choice for a long lasting colour pop
