Kristina Clode Garden Design is a studio dedicated to creating beautiful, sustainable landscapes that connect people with nature. Based near the historic town of Rye, the practice has delivered a diverse portfolio ranging from large country estates to public gardens. Most recently, the studio partnered with the National Trust to recreate the historic Iris Garden at Nunnington Hall.

With over two decades of experience working in horticulture Kristina holds an in-depth knowledge of plants and nature. As well as being a fully registered member of the Society of Garden & Landscape Designers she also holds a Masters in Garden History. Her heartfelt love of plants, and the ecosystems they support, lies at the centre of every project. Kristina spent several years volunteering with the gardening team at Great Dixter, one of the UK’s most influential gardens. This experience, and the close ties she keeps with the garden, continue to inspire her work today.

Kristina takes an environmentally conscious approach to garden design, favouring schemes that encourage biodiversity, support pollinators, and work in harmony with local conditions. She has won the Society of Garden + Landscape Designers ‘Design for the Environment’ Award three times, in 2021, 2022, and 2026. Kristina passionately believes that gardens can be both beautiful and functional while enhancing the environment in which they sit.
