ABOUT SECATEUR
Nature needs
STRUCTURE, too.
You didn’t mean for it to get like this.
The Pinterest-perfect cedar beds you built are full of mystery weeds. The chickens are giving you the side-eye. The chore chart is a ghost town, and the idea of "self-care" feels like a joke when the rest of your life demands so much from you.
Take a breath. That's not a ‘you’ problem. It's a systems problem.
Secateur takes the heavy lifting out of managing your home, garden, and everyday routines. Using sustainable design principles, we help you edit the excess and simplify your environment, creating holistic, easy-to-manage plans - from naturalistic garden layouts to intuitive home storage systems - and offer optional coaching for extra support. No rigid schedules or demanding to-do lists, just calm, joyful spaces that give back to you, the environment, and your community.
ABOUT the FOUNDER
Kat is a gardener, systems designer, and lover of cultivated spaces.
Based in Indianapolis, she keeps a bustling urban property with chickens, rabbits, native plants, and a greenhouse, and knows firsthand what it's like to bite off more than you can chew.
Kat has spent over 15 years in operations and process design, mastering the art of building structures that keep things running smoothly. Now, she brings that expertise home. Her approach is simple: pay attention, build a plan that fits the reality of your life, and put resilient systems in place.
Secateur grew from Kat’s belief that our homes and gardens shouldn't be an additional source of stress. Rooted in a love for historic spaces, naturalistic planting, and seasonal care, Secateur brings together an eye for design and the discipline of operations, helping you cultivate your life and space with beauty, purpose, and ease.
