Award-winning landscape design studio, lilydesign, brings a fresh perspective to outdoor spaces offering unique and detailed landscape plans and project management services. 

 

With 20 + years of experience, Kari Renaud, principal and Certified Landscape Designer (CLD), has the expertise and the passion for her craft to make your exterior dreams a reality.   

​​

We believe a truly exceptional outdoor space, born from a enjoyable and collaborative partnership between homeowner and designer, profoundly impacts the quality of our daily experiences.  ​Functional and beautiful, while also promoting the natural health of the earth and inspire a feeling of sanctuary, uniquely tailored to your vision.

 

​Kari, the principal of lilydesign, has designed gardens in both British Columbia and Ontario.  These gardens range in size from Vancouver rooftop terraces, to the waterfront properties of wine country in Naramata, BC., to sprawling acreages of Southern Ontario. In virtually every case the most important issue with any garden is to create an exterior sanctuary, while at the same time creating space in which to entertain.

 

As a CLD, Kari has extensive professional landscape experience, specifically in the design/build industry.  The combination of her education experience - a Landscape Design / Construction Certificate and a Bachelor of Commerce from UBC, has provided a strong planning platform while running her own landscape design business.  As a detailed oriented individual, she has designed and built hundreds of landscapes (a few of which are award-winning). 

 

Kari’s experience also includes successfully teaching Landscape Design, Landscape Estimating and Business Management Principles for Landscaping to a mixed group of adults and professionals at University / College level courses, for both the University of Guelph and Kwantlen Polytechnic University.  She is also active in her industry, and has been a guest speaker at several high-profile industry events.
