Meet The Team
Our Founder Jeremy G Killian
Jeremy Killian’s deep connection to Cape Town and its natural beauty has shaped his passion for horticulture and landscape design. Born and raised in the shadow of Table Mountain, with Devils Peak Mountain as his backyard Jeremy spent his childhood exploring the mountains with his brothers. These formative years fostered a love for the region’s unique flora and a deep appreciation for the wonders of the Cape.
With a father who adored plants, Jeremy’s fascination with the botanical world grew. As he embarked on his career with Nature’s Blueprint, his expertise and dedication to his craft have been recognized by various media outlets, including the Cape Times, the Argus, and community papers. Jeremy’s involvement in prominent projects, including the Lanzerac Manor Hotel on behalf of the Wiese family, has further established his reputation as a respected figure in the industry.
Jeremy’s philosophy centers around the belief that gardens are ever-evolving and require constant care to maintain their beauty and perfection. Understanding this, Nature’s Blueprint offers a full range of horticultural services, from imaginative design solutions to precise landscape construction and ongoing proactive maintenance. Their comprehensive service menu takes clients from the initial stages of concept development and integration to long-term style and seasonal maintenance, ensuring that every aspect of the garden is meticulously cared for and tailored to the client’s vision.
Having a father who served as a Cape Town firefighter for three decades, Jeremy developed a fondness for the smell of bushfires, understanding their role in the rejuvenation of fynbos. The smell of his father’s overalls after a firefighting mission held a special significance, symbolizing the preservation and regrowth of the natural landscape.
With Jeremy’s personal connection to the region, Nature’s Blueprint Horticultural Services offers not just a service, but a genuine understanding and appreciation for the unique beauty and ecological importance of Cape Town’s natural environment. By combining their expertise, creativity, and attention to detail, they strive to transform ordinary outdoor spaces into extraordinary gardens that reflect the spirit and essence of the Cape.
