Nicki King Landscape Design

From our first chat, you’ll discover that my biggest motivators in life are caring, conservation and creativity. Which combine beautifully in my work as a Landscape Designer.(Not that it ever feels like work!) Each day I get to create sustainable and stunning garden designs that are as unique as you are. Gorgeous, practical spaces that enrich your life and health, and support your local ecosystem. I feel so blessed to work throughout the various regions of Adelaide, because we have so many different sub-climates, conditions and aspects to work with. I love the challenge of getting creative with what’s already on-site, but I also adore starting fresh with a clean slate. I’ve always cared so deeply about conservation. In fact, when I got asked as a kid about what super power I’d love to have – my answer was twofold. Bringing plants back to life, and fixing the waterways! I realised that rather than go down the path of studying conservation and tackling these issues on a bureaucratic level, I could make more of a difference starting at home - designing nature and garden spaces. I could show parents that even though their backyard is the same size as their car, there are many ways to get their kids outside, interacting with nature. I could show urban dwellers just how easy it is to create a relaxing and peaceful sanctuary. Through two years of studying to become a qualified Landscape Designer, becoming a member of Master Landscapers of SA, and every moment I’ve spent working in this field – my inspiration and commitment for what I do has grown and grown! And there’s no doubt that my work continues to fuel my commitment to conservation. We need to keep the discussion going and most importantly, spread the word that green spaces and living in natural surrounds is vital for both kid and adults alike. Because quite simply if our kids aren’t learning to love and take care of nature then who will look after it when we are gone?
