Our Gardener.
Stephany Koch Hazelrigg
A skilled gardener and mixed-medium artist with a background in community development, project management, creative facilitation and education, Stephany Hazelrigg’s professional journey has been as diverse and vibrant as the landscape she calls home. Born and raised on a long and thin island in the Salish Sea, embraced by the snow capped edges of the Olympics and Cascades and nurtured by the steady stream of the Skagit & Nooksack Rivers, her passion for nurturing life, be it through tending fires, gardens, or communities, has been a guiding force throughout her career.
Now settled in the heart of Seattle's Southend, beneath the watchful gaze of Mt. Tahoma, Stephany continues to weave her magic, designing, building, and maintaining beautiful and intentional gardens with her cherished clients and community, and developing and facilitating experiential and transformational programs with groups of all ages with her preteen wonderbeam at her side.
She specializes in integrated edible and ornamental landscapes and has a passion for incorporating native species and sustainable systems. She is passionate about working with and coaching her community to connect with the land they steward and how to create beauty, strength, and knowledge along the way. Her work is not merely about outcomes and aesthetics; but the process and possibility. It is a testament to her commitment to education, engagement, and sustainable stewardship, reflecting her belief in the power and pace of nature to transform us in interdependent ways; to quite literally grow better together.
Stephany also works as Project Lead and Garden Coach at Dynamic Waters learning the art of catching rain as a natural extension of this ethos, where she is excited to master the art and science of rain catching.
