It’s all about plants pollinators and wildlife!

Plant Manager Studio, LLC is a landscaping firm that I established in 2006. A conglomeration of landscaping, garden design and art, specifically botanical illustration — all of the things that I LOVE! I focus on native plants and pollinators, but I also have a fondness for many plants that are considered imported. Okay, okay, there are a few that I really despise, like Barberries and Bittersweet, but I have plenty of suggestions for alternatives!

I have a very creative, instinctual design and installation process with all of the gardens I create or reawaken for my clients. My desire and objective is to make sure that all of the work we do succeeds brilliantly, makes homes for the pollinators & wildlife, and most importantly, makes my clients and admirers enjoy the gardens with a heartfelt smile.


“I contacted Kate MacGillivary owner of Plant Manager Studio, LLC after a recommendation from a friend who had used Kate’s expert services to landscape her home in Harpswell. 

Kate has designed and landscaped our front yard from plain grass to vibrant trees, bushes, flowers and decorative grasses. Our plan was done in three stages. After the first stage Kate gave us written instructions on how to care for all of our new plants.

Kate’s creative skills allow her to look at a piece of land and see it beyond cookie cutter plantings done by many landscapers.

We continue to work with Kate to maintain our landscaping. We value her work ethic, character and friendship. We enjoy sitting on our front porch watching birds and butterflies enjoy the work of art by Kate.”

Very Grateful client,

Kate Anthony
