Welcome to Botanic
Botanic Landscape Architects
Botanic are a boutique landscape architecture studio based in Ĺtautahi Christchurch. We combine over three decades of experience, so youâre with a safe set of hands and a friendly team who value the shared outcomes created through collaboration.
Public Spaces and Commercial Landscapes
The design of public spaces and commercial landscapes has the ability to positively shape human experiences, integrate with architecture and express a sense of place. We believe that great design creates vibrant spaces that are people-friendly, environmentally sustainable and functional to use and maintain.

Residential Landscape and Garden Design
Our homes are personal sanctuaries where families grow together. We believe listening and collaborating closely with our clients allows the design to reflect their personalities and find a balance between function, comfort and inspiration.

Education, School and Campus Landscapes
Campus landscapes are an integral component of a studentâs experience. We collaborate with schools to integrate their style of teaching with external spaces where cognitive, social and physical learning can thrive.

Play Spaces and Playgrounds
Play is essential to child leaning and development. A well-designed play space can create open-ended fun and physical challenges. We regularly develop play space designs through interactive workshops with tamariki, kaimahi and community to express conceptual and cultural narratives.

Cultural, Community and Recreation Landscapes
Great outdoor spaces integrate with nature and reflect the identity of the people connected to them. We enjoy designing collaboratively with mana whenua and communities to create landscapes that express cultural and historical narratives, provide wellbeing and enhance their local environment.
