Cat Rawnsley is an award-winning garden designer based in Wellington, New Zealand. 

​

Her rural upbringing and passion for being connected to nature inspired her to renounce her successful career as a lawyer and retrain as a garden designer.

 

Cat studied design at the renowned Inchbald School of Design, London where she received a Distinction for her Garden Design Diploma. She also holds a Level 2 Certificate in Horticulture from The Royal Horticultural Society in London, which she passed with Commendation. 

​

Cat has a design studio in her backyard, where she looks out onto a century year old Golden Pohutukawa tree covered in native birds and watches her bees collect nectar for her home-grown honey. 

​

Inspired by beautiful, functional gardens, Cat brings this passion to all her designs, working with clients to realise their aspirations for their outdoor spaces. 

​

Cat works closely with her clients in developing the brief and provides creative, robust solutions that transform outdoor spaces into beautiful, wildlife friendly environments.

​

Cat Rawnsley Design offers a friendly, bespoke service tailored to suit your aspirations. 

 

Whether you are looking for inspiration and advice, a revamp of your existing planting or a complete transformation of your garden, we would love to help you create your dream garden.
