The Grass Girl
Fine garden design
You already know the difference between a landscape that was installed and one that was designed. You've felt it. At someone's home, in a garden abroad, in the way certain places make you slow down without knowing why.
I'm Clare Horne. I design that feeling.
The Grass Girl is my studio. An art practice accepting a small number of garden and land commissions each year.
Commissions
Garden Commissions
For defined garden spaces. Entries, courtyards, pool gardens, privacy plantings, the gardens that shape how a home is lived in day to day.
Land Portraiture Master Plans
For acreage, farms, and estates where the design has to read the whole land before it can shape any part of it.
It began with a garden. And a name spoken from memory.
The Grass Girl isn't just a studio. It's a story of devotion, of turning land into something that speaks.
The Grass Girl featured in Country Living, Stroll Belle Meade, Lebanon City Lifestyle, and The Wilson Post
If you have a property and a vision, I'd like to hear about it.
