Founded by Cecelia Bedford, after a fulfilling 20+ year career ‘herding cats’ as an Advertising Producer. Cecelia turned to her other passion of getting her hands in the dirt and set out to create a business that enabled her to express her broad range of skills. Raised in a small Australian bush town, surrounded by nature, horses, artists, gardeners, a plant nursery and lots of earthmoving machinery, Cecelia always had a fascination for growing and creating.

This background is reflected in her natural eye, and immersive planting designs that blend naturalistic, traditional, modern, edible and ornamental. Passionate about native perennials and creating gardens that are sustainable and ecological. Focusing on considered plantings, working with microclimates and alternative ways to reduce impact on the environment. Cecelia has designed gardens across 2 Continents and worked with some of the industries leading Landscape Architects. Determined to bring a fresh innovative outlook to the Garden Design Industry.

Wattle Design Studio’s aim is to connect every client with their dream garden, their Xanadu, with a creative and seamless approach. We work with a hand picked team of subcontractors, bringing you a strong foundation in hands-on skills, and an understanding of how plantings will work in the real-world.
