Natural Connection
With the lightest touch, landscape designer Carrie Latimer coaxes botanical magic from a sand coastal garden that is as pretty as it is a flourishing dune ecosystem.
“The more gardens I design, the less I want to leave my stamp on them,” says landscape designer Carrie Latimer, encapsulating her ecological and light-footed approach to creating outdoor spaces that are sustainable, beautiful, and eco-conscious. Her recent coastal garden project is no exception, positioned high above the coastal village of Hout Bay on what is essentially dunescape on the southern slopes of Klein Leeukoppie.
