A “Plantswoman,” by definition, is someone with a passion for plants and their cultivation. Susan Calhoun, president and principal designer of Plantswoman Design, is just that: someone passionate about plants and their cultivation.

You can see that passion in her designs and her writing.

Susan Calhoun is a certified landscape designer with over 25 years of experience in projects ranging from private residences to commercial and show gardens. She has a strong connection to her community and uses sustainable practices, “green” materials, and recycled products to open new avenues for her business.
When not in her own garden, Susan has been helping homeowners for over 25 years across Puget Sound create stunning green spaces that exceed expectations. Training first in Seattle, then in the UK at Harlow Carr Botanical Garden. She is Certified by WALP and WSNLA. Susan stays up to date on the latest gardening and landscape innovations and employs sustainable gardening principles. Her work has been featured in Sunset Magazine, Fine Gardening Magazine, Monrovia Blog, and many other national and local publications.
