Mia Niklasson

I design landscapes.

Landscape · Planting · People · Nature · Learning

I work with private clients, architects and organisations across health and education, designing landscapes from early ideas through to planting and implementation.

My work considers how people use and experience outdoor spaces, alongside the plants, wildlife and wider landscape around them.

But first, I notice.

Pasque flowers in fine grass, soft morning light

Bluebells flowering through open woodland in spring

Backlit new growth on shrubby planting at dusk

Landscape begins with paying attention — to place, material, season, people and the living world.

Landscape design, planning and biodiversity from concept onwards.

Therapeutic Landscapes

Landscapes supporting wellbeing, calm and recovery.

Ideas are part of the work.

Design begins with looking, questioning and sharing what we learn.

Landscapes are never finished.

They grow, change and pass into the care of others.
