Sue Dickson, Designer, Horticulturist, Owner

I have been steeped in the regional horticulture community since completing my Garden Design and Horticulture degree from Edmonds Community College in 2002. Through that training and as owner of the Artful Garden from 2004-2025, I have had the good fortune to be mentored by others, learning from other designers, plant collectors, arborists and garden writers. In turn I mentored others by developing a talented team and sharing my approach and expertise in the maintenance division of my company.

Now I have closed that division and am continuing as a designer and contractor using the same group of contractors that I have developed over the years but in a contract manager role.

As the Seattle area continues to grow, spending time in the natural world becomes more and more of a primary need for all of us. My goal as a landscape designer is to bring that beauty home to my clients, whether it is through naturalistic, formal or native plantings, set within clean lines, using the highest quality materials and local craftmanship.
