Hi, I’m Emma — a garden designer based in Amersfoort and founder of Wildmoss, a small, creative garden design studio specialising in residential gardens in the Netherlands.

As a former marine biologist, I’ve always been drawn to plants, nature, and calm outdoor spaces. After years studying coastal ecosystems, I rediscovered my connection with nature while renovating my own city garden.

At the same time, I realised I was craving a more creative outlet — one that combined my love of design, beauty, and being outdoors.

That’s when garden design really clicked into place for me.

Designing Gardens That Feel Like Home

Ever wanted a garden that feels welcoming and easy to enjoy?

I understand how important it is to have a garden that fits into daily life — especially in cities where urban gardens can be small or overlooked. As someone who juggles design work, a city allotment, and family life, I appreciate both the challenges and simple joys of caring for a garden. It takes time, but it brings peace, beauty, and a deeper sense of connection.

I design sustainable, practical gardens that reflect your lifestyle and support the local environment. Whether you have a compact courtyard or a long, narrow city garden, I’ll work with you to create something personal, natural, and full of character.

Choosing the right name mattered. For me, Wildmoss says everything I believe in.

Moss is resilient. It’s been around far longer than we have — quietly covering the earth with soft, spongy green. While some see it as a weed, I see strength, adaptability, and opportunity.

Especially in urban Dutch gardens, where green space can be limited, even the smallest plants can make a difference. Just like wild moss, plants can transform even the tiniest spaces, bringing life, calm, and beauty to unexpected places.

Every outdoor space has the potential to support biodiversity, encourage relaxation, and feel like a small sanctuary — no matter its size.

Does that sound like your kind of garden?

Designing your garden should feel inspiring, not overwhelming. My role is to guide you through a calm, collaborative design process — one that leaves you feeling excited and grounded in your space.

If you’re ready to create a garden that’s both beautiful and functional, I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s create a garden that feels like home.
