Welcome to Solstice Garden Co., where the artistry of nature intertwines with wellness-based landscape design; I'm Katherine Wilcenski, founder and lead designer. My journey has been a mosaic of passions—nature, healing arts, and the creative process, all converging to create a business where each works harmoniously with the other.

While my story is deeply intertwined with my family's traditional landscaping and agriculture lineage, my journey took a distinct turn. While pursuing a BA in Art and Ecological Design from the University of Vermont and furthering my studies in Landscape Design and Horticulture at the New York Botanical Garden, I discovered a personal passion for the healing arts unfolding alongside my education and experience. This realization marked the beginning of my vision for Solstice Garden Co., a business that could weave ecology and holistic healing together. I envisioned a career that deepened my connection to nature and offered healing to others through its transformative power.

After experiences with acclaimed firms like James Corner Field Ops and Gensler in the bustling city of New York and receiving a certification in permaculture design with Whole Systems Designs, my understanding deepened, and the foundation of my own business began to take shape. At this point, my journey led me back home to my roots and the warm embrace of nature once again.

At the core of this venture is an unwavering commitment to Earth and her wisdom. As a steward of this planet, ecological integrity guides every decision and design we make. Here, we don't just cultivate gardens; we cultivate connections between humans and the natural world.

Preserving ecological integrity isn't just an ethos—it's a promise to enhance human health and well-being. Our sustainable garden designs aim to offer you a sense of home, fulfillment, and connection. I wholeheartedly believe that a thriving landscape will give back to us tenfold, creating a harmonious coexistence between people, nature, and the spaces we curate.

I welcome you to my garden and can’t wait to step into yours.

Let’s grow together,
