SARAH VALENTINE
Principal Designer & Founder
We combine a laid-back West Coast approach with naturalistic, low-maintenance plants to create naturescapes: wild-like micro-ecosystems that burst with life while still remaining beautiful and elegant
Strong geometric paths, patios and decks help to ground the softer, naturalistic elements of our designs - and we always use the Golden Ratio. Our unique style and clean aesthetic helps to tame the rich diversity of plants we use to connect our clients' outdoor spaces with the natural world
With a background in ecology, we are inspired by classic ecological settings such as wildflower meadows, grassy woodlands and coastal forests and look to replicate them for our clients
We work with large scale residences, project managers, architects and contractors to produce gardens, outdoor entertainment spaces and relaxing atmospheres designed for those using them
PHILOSOPHY
Every project we accept is highly individualized and integrates classic design principals from concept to completion, imbued with practical creativity, artisanal details and extensive horticultural knowledge
SARAH VALENTINE DESIGN serves the Sea-to-Sky Corridor and Gulf Islands communities. We are located in the traditional territory of the Interior Salish Lil'Wat peoples. We honour the traditional territories of the St'at'imc First Nation. We acknowledge our traditional hosts, this land, it’s gifts and our impact upon it.
