Thats me!
Katie Smithson- Gardener, Designer, Plants Women
Awarding Winning Garden Design based in Leicestershire. Hi, I'm Katie and I started The Garden Sitters in 2018. We have come along way and worked on beautiful gardens big to small. I am an Eco conscious gardener and designer and work towards making our landscapers beautiful and biodiverse again. I am driven to create and maintain beautiful gardens from soil to the trees. I feel at one with nature and there is nothing better than designing and creating different gardens all over the East Midlands. Contact me now to discuss options and quotes.

Did you know we had an award...

...well we do! We were awarded a Gold Medal for our small garden at BBC Gardeners World in 2025. Such an achievement after all our hard work. Check out some of the images



















The Then & Now Border- Share my Space
Immerse yourself in ‘The Then & Now’ with this contemporary urban social space with textures, smells, and playful modular structures. This design signifies the journey through our changing climate and introduces a cohesion of traditional & modern planting and self-forming, quarry dust paths which lead you through the planted boarders to create a covered gravel garden. Sustainable, biodiverse friendly and introducing a new approach to low maintenance planting with a modern twist. Scattered, contrasting, burnt timber structures eventually group into a moulded bench signifying our climates harsh reality.
