Kathy Spear, the Plant Lady

Designs by Nature is large enough to meet all your interior plantscape needs and small enough to care about every single customer. “No matter their size, every customer is very important to me,” states Kathy.

Kathy began her business in Wisconsin after receiving her Horticulture Degree in 1979. Her first assignment was a large shopping mall, then a hospital. She has been providing service to the commercial and corporate community ever since.

Currently, her company maintains plants and flowers for dozens of satisfied clients in the low country. Designs by Nature brings your environment to life.

“When you are greeted by live healthy plants you feel better!” Kathy states. “My customer’s plants are all vibrant and fresh, all of the time.”

This is the secret of her success.

Here is what we do for you

We bring nature indoors.  Beautiful plants transform indoor spaces -- they add interest and make rooms feel alive. A well designed plantscape compliments architecture, softening angular spaces with natural shape and color.

The results inspire you!  Watching a new leaf unfold, an annual flower bloom, or just being around plants can help reduce stress. Psychologists have learned that the color green has a positive benefit on our health, it lowers blood pressure, calms the nervous system and relieves anxiety. Interiorscapes provide ideal surroundings for those who need to concentrate, and are an excellent addition to design studios, reading rooms, studies, offices and other high stress or thought intensive settings.

You feel refreshed, naturally.  Plantscapes help clean indoor air. Today's air-tight buildings often become polluted with human bioeffluents and outgassed chemicals from glues, carpet, plastics, fabrics, wall coverings and furniture contributing to allergy related problems such as itchy eyes, skin rashes, drowsiness and headaches. Recent NASA studies prove indoor plants effectively remove these pollutants from the air and produce a healthier indoor environment
