EunYoung Sebazco, originally from Seoul, Korea, spent a decade studying and practicing as a Landscape Architect in Tokyo before relocating to New York City. There, she expanded her plant knowledge and earned certification as a professional horticulturist from the New York Botanical Garden. Over the past 16 years, she has worked with New York City Parks, enhancing and maintaining public gardens. In 2022, she showcased her work at the Philadelphia Flower Show with a Patio Garden exhibit.
She is co-founder of 'KINKA' offers services in art and design, including garden design and installation since 2020.
Her Asian heritage inspired a passion for culinary history, leading to the creation of NYC’s first rice paddies at Randall's Island in 2010. Since then, she has explored rice’s cultural and nutritional significance through lectures, exhibitions, and pop-up dinners, while preserving Korean techniques that celebrate sustainability and seasonal foods.
Her extensive practice of the Japanese tea ceremony has inspired her to express creativity across ceramics, floral design, landscape design, culinary arts, and matcha teaching. She has also developed participatory art projects centered around the tea ceremony, collaborating with other artists to explore shared experiences and quiet reflection.
In September 2025, she published When You Slow Down – Sometime Early Spring, Somewhere in Japan, a small book born from a journey through Japan the previous spring. Gathering quiet moments and gentle lessons, it is an invitation to wander slowly, to clear your senses, and to savor the present. She hopes it inspires readers to taste food with a story, notice the beauty in humble street corners, and discover wonder in the everyday.
