Hello, my name is Kristina Bednarikova. Me and my husband Filip have a small family business. We design and build gardens.

I got an education in Fine Arts but found my way to gardening and garden design after moving into the countryside with my husband and two little children in 2014. Right then, I fell in love with the whole process. This passion has been growing ever since.

Naturally, I started gardening in my home garden. Then I also helped my family and friends with their garden designs. After that, I gathered the courage to design gardens for actual clients. In 2020, I upgraded and started building gardens physically. I enjoy the whole process. Creating the garden structure and atmosphere, and also the satisfactory planting itself at the end.

For me, gardening is an incredibly fulfilling process. But also very complex and time-consuming. I must say, it did not always go smoothly. But it was all the more interesting to me. One is pushed to learn much because every garden is different. But it is also a very nice activity outdoors and I consider gardening to be highly beneficial for the body and soul.

As a complete novice, I tried to create my garden strictly according to permaculture principles. I enjoyed its relaxed visuals, environmental friendliness and connection with wildlife and nature. Later on, I discovered other gardening approaches, like the naturalistic gardens of Piet Oudolf, and English and Japanese gardens. All of these styles influenced me and gradually blended together. However, the permacultural principle of usefulness and emphasis on nature is always in my mind when I approach a design.

Last but not least, my ultimate clue to designing a garden has become the client and his/her specific needs and visual preferences. After all, we are creating your outdoor home.

Thank you for your time :).
