Taking time to listen to carefully to every detail of your wedding day plans, owner and designer Kate Henderson will note your likes, dislikes, and overall vision, tucking away information for the time she personally selects your flowers.

Such a high degree of individual attention ensures designs that will truly reflect your personal style.

Although she is self-taught in the field of floral design, Kate has become a highly respected professional in the field.  Having studied painting, photography and graphic design in college, she has a natural ability for visualizing a setting and discerning the floral details that will color it.

Kate’s inspiration is drawn from classical Flemish masters such as Jacob Vasmeer, Nicolaes Van Veerendael and Peter Faes, as well as magical Impressionists such as Degas, Renior and Cezanne.

With her own keen focus on freshness and color, Kate believes in hand-selecting only the finest flowers and custom-designing your arrangements – conveying this classic and elegant tone for your special day.

Tending, nurturing and designing flowers is a natural vocation for Kate, who truly believes in the magic of florals. This belief is carried forward today, ready to be reflected in the sumptuous beauty of your special day.

Katherine’s Garden originally began as a garden design and maintenance service.

Oftentimes, after weeding and planting in her clients’ gardens, Kate would create simple arrangements from the leftover cuttings, leaving behind these delightful bouquets for an unexpected surprise.

When one client – impressed by Kate’s eye for design – asked her to arrange the florals for an upcoming family wedding, Kate said yes. She jumped into the world of floral design and has not looked back.

Twenty years later, she now works from her pastoral studio in York, Maine – a converted cow barn where the hum of walk-in refrigerators mingles with the birds outside, and buckets and buckets of florals fill the air with their fragrant promise of new beginnings.
