REBECCA LANG
Owner & Principal Landscape Designer
Rebecca Lang graduated from Camosun College in 2002 and started Any Thyme Gardening the same year. She later completed the Ecological Landscape Design course through Gaia College. Since then, Rebecca has been working with homeowners in many capacities in their gardens.
As food sustainability and connection to nature has become more prevalent in urban gardening, Rebecca’s love for providing these spaces has only grown. Balancing food, pollination and ornament elements in her creations has become her main focus.
“I believe gardeners shouldn’t have to choose between an ornamental or food focused garden; I want to create spaces where you feel like you can have it all! A beautifully integrated space that you want to spend time in, that also provides for wildlife, pollinators and all the senses. I love to blur the line of where the doors of the home end and entice people to spend as much time outside as they do in!”
By taking into account the micro and macro ecosystems, existing and potential, Rebecca takes each garden and works with these conditions to create a space that makes you feel connected to the emotional benefits a garden can provide.
Rebecca believes rather than “Getting out to nature”, we should be bringing the aspects of nature that heal and inspire us to our homes and in our gardens.
KALEIGH VALOIS
Landscape Designer
Kaleigh has worked with Any Thyme Gardening since 2017. After completing her Horticulture Technician Certificate at Camosun College, she balanced her time between leading the Any Thyme maintenance division and completing her Red Seal certification training at HCP. She is now adding to her decade of experience in the industry by working to complete her certificate of Landscape Design through Guelph University. Her experience building and maintaining gardens over many years brings intelligence and experience to root her designs in.
She firmly believes a garden should be all encompassing - an ecosystem for local wildlife, an expansion and extension of one’s livng space, and a source of harvestable goods for both sustenance and enjoyment.
