20 Mar Katie Moyes Achieves SGD Accreditation
A Defining Moment for Tapestry Design Studios
We are delighted to share that Katie Moyes, lead designer at Tapestry Design Studios, has been awarded accreditation by the Society of Landscape and Garden Designers (SGLD).
This recognition represents a significant professional milestone, reflecting not only Katie’s depth of experience, but also her commitment to delivering garden design of the highest calibre. It is an achievement that quietly underpins the standards we uphold across every project.
The Benchmark for Excellence in Garden Design
The Society of Landscape and Garden Designers is the UK’s foremost professional body for garden design. Accreditation is reserved for designers who demonstrate a refined combination of creative vision, technical expertise and professional integrity.
For discerning clients, it offers a clear assurance: that the designer you entrust with your garden operates at an exceptional level within the industry.
A Rigorous and Exacting Process
Accreditation is achieved through a detailed and highly selective assessment process. Each candidate’s work is reviewed by an expert panel, with close attention paid to the full lifecycle of a project—from initial survey and concept development through to construction and completion.
This is not simply an evaluation of aesthetic sensibility, but of precision, technical understanding and the ability to deliver cohesive, enduring designs.
Katie’s work was assessed across all of these disciplines and recognised for its clarity, consistency and quality.

A Depth of Experience Shaped by Horticultural Expertise
With over fifteen years’ experience, Katie brings a considered and informed perspective to every project. Her early training at Beth Chatto’s celebrated Essex garden instilled a lasting sensitivity to planting design—one that continues to shape her work today.
At Tapestry Design Studios, Katie leads a design process that is both creative and highly structured, ensuring that each garden is resolved with care, intention and technical precision.
Her work is characterised by a nuanced understanding of space, planting and materials, resulting in gardens that feel both timeless and deeply personal.

A Tailored, Collaborative Approach
At Tapestry Design Studios, each project begins with a careful understanding of how a space will be used and experienced.
Our role is to interpret this with clarity and creativity—shaping gardens that sit naturally within their surroundings while reflecting the individuality of each client.
The process is collaborative and measured, designed to ensure that every detail is resolved with confidence and care.
