Maria Hollyoake

Landscape Architect


Maria is a landscape architect with a passion for creating places that are beautiful, sustainable, inclusive, and deeply connected to their surroundings. With a background in horticulture and hands-on gardening experience, she bridges the worlds of landscape architecture and horticulture to design spaces that invite engagement—whether through community gardening, naturalistic planting, or thoughtful placemaking that brings people together.

Inspired by nature, Maria specialises in resilient, climate-conscious planting design that evolves over time rather than remaining static. She is particularly interested in sustainable landscape management, ensuring that outdoor spaces continue to thrive long after they are built. Her fascination with post-industrial landscapes and the way nature reclaims neglected sites informs her approach, using ecological processes as a guide for future landscapes.

Beyond her professional work, Maria is actively involved in a local community garden, where she continues to explore the intersection of people, nature, and design through hands-on engagement.
