Design, planting, and seasonal care from a gardener trained at the Rhode Island School of Design and raised on a Danish dairy farm where the garden was a way of life.
Kirsten West, a native of Denmark, was born and raised on a dairy farm on the island of Fyn — where farming, fishing, hygge, and tending the garden were ordinary parts of an ordinary day. She learned to look closely from her mother Marie, an expert knitter, sewer, embroiderer, and bobbin lacemaker.
She later studied Botanical Illustration, Drawing, and Painting at the Rhode Island School of Design. Now living on Cape Cod, she brings four decades of attention to gardens across the Mid, Lower, and Outer Cape.
Site walks, planting plans, sketches drawn by hand.
From bare bed to mature composition.
Spring opening, summer care, fall closeout, winter prep.
Roses, hydrangeas, fruit trees, ornamental shrubs — done at the right time, in the right way.
Tailored programs for roses, hydrangeas, and fruit trees.
Designed for harvest and beauty in equal measure.
Bringing overgrown gardens carefully back to themselves.
A single visit, a sketched plan, a way forward.
Kirsten doesn't just maintain a garden — she has a relationship with it. Our roses have never looked like this in twenty years.— A client in Orleans
