After 16 years as principal landscape designer at Landform Consultants, Catherine MacDonald is leaving to set up her own design studio and spend more time with family.

MacDonald will continue collaborating with Landform on projects, working closely with Mark Gregory and the design team, but feels it is the right time to branch out and explore new creative opportunities and projects of her own.

She will complete her feature garden at RHS Sandringham Flower Show 2026 under the Landform brand before officially leaving the company at the end of July. She is looking forward to taking a short break before starting the next chapter.

Her new company name and website will be MacDonald Design Studio.
