Kate L Wall

Kate Wall is a gardening professional based in Brisbane. Her career changed from Environmental Science (with scientific qualifications in Environmental Biology) to professional gardening after the 2011 floods when her local community was badly affected. Kate's volunteer efforts to restore flooded gardens saw her earn a number of awards including a prestigious “Ray Phippard Fellowship” from the Lions International. This culture of caring has set the theme for Kate's approach to gardening as she works towards improving people's lives through making gardening a pleasure and a success.

Kate specialises in teaching people to garden in harmony with nature, ensuring beautiful and highly successful gardens for gardeners of all levels of experience. By working with nature, Kate focuses on a very sustainable approach to gardening which is not only better environmentally, but also makes the job at hand so much easier. She is a keen proponent of subtropical gardening. She encourages gardeners to understand and appreciate our unique climate and to use it to our advantage, regardless of the style of garden. Kate has her own highly successful subtropical cottage garden, producing food, herbal medicine and an incredible abundance of flowers and joy.

Kate is one of Australia’s leading weed educators. Her first book, “Working With Weeds” received an Award of Merit from the Australian Institute of Horticulture in 2021.

Kate received the Anita Boucher Award for Outstanding Achievement in Horticulture in 2022.

Kate is an active member of both the Queensland Herb Society and the Horticultural Media Association of Australia. She is a regular speaker at gardening events.
