About Kate
Kate Walz, is the owner & creator of KW Gardens and Flowers located in Port Washington, New York on Long Island's north shore. She is also a horticulturist, garden consultant, garden & floral designer and lover of all things growing in nature.
She specializes in creating beautiful gardens that highlight every season and crafting garden-style floral arrangements that showcase seasonal and local flowers and foliage.
Kate has always had a deep passion for everything related to plants, flowers and nature. A graduate of College of the Holy Cross, Massachusetts with a BA in Psychology and Farmingdale State College’s School of Urban Horticulture & Design, New York, Kate launched a business that merged both areas of study, recognizing the importance of natural beauty and flowers in cultivating a person’s well being and emotional state.
Kate initially established KW Garden Design on Long Island, NY to help local homeowners create beautiful gardens with fresh color palettes and seasonally interesting plants.
​With her green thumb and artistic sensibility, Kate expanded her services a few years later, creating KW Gardens & Flowers, which incorporated floral design into her repertoire. Her designs are known for their natural, whimsical, garden-style aesthetic, often featuring seasonal flowers grown locally and/or domestically in an effort to support these flower growers.

Kate loves to experiment with colors, textures and forms in both her garden designs and floral arrangements, creating unique and personalized designs for each client. Her work has received high praise from clients, who appreciate her ability to transform dull outdoor spaces into thriving, lush gardens and her knack for creating floral arrangements that are unlike anything else out there.
