Maria Kotze
Landscape Artist And Technologist
With 18 years of experience in the industry, I have had the privilege of working for three SALI-accredited landscape companies. Throughout my journey, I have immersed myself in all aspects of landscaping from crafting garden designs to engaging in environmental rehabilitation.
I have also successfully managed and implemented projects spanning a diverse range of styles, including wetlands, contemporary upmarket hotel rooftop gardens, and landscape wonders masterminded by esteemed Landscape Architects like Planning Partners and Terra Plus.
This background allows me to work with various styles to create a garden specifically tailored to the client's expectations.
With a rich background in Textile and Graphic design, my artistic spirit was ignited at a young age. Growing up on a wine farm just outside Stellenbosch, where my father passionately crafted wines, I developed an appreciation for agriculture. My wanderlust led me to explore delightful destinations such as Singapore, Thailand and the English countryside. These journeys opened my eyes to the infinite possibilities that nature offers to colour the garden canvas. If you can dream it, I can create it! My approach is to blend functionality and beauty with botanical knowledge, to create spectacular outdoor spaces. I chose to channel my interest into Landscape Design, from 2004 to 2006 I got my National Diploma in Landscape Technology at Cape Peninsula University of technology.
