Garden Design

We will discuss your garden experiences, expectations and find a style that suits you best. From there, I will happily design, install and encourage your garden to rise up out of the Earth and mature gracefully.

I design gardens with the fundamental belief that we should delight and participate in useful living spaces for year-round enjoyment and productivity. As such, I only source and recommend plants and care routines to allow your garden to thrive in Brisbane’s subtropical climate.

Garden Maintenance

Scheduled garden maintenance programs ensure your garden will thrive beautifully year round. I focus on building the soil using organic methods and applied sciences to help your plants to flourish. The soil will always be a focus as I train your garden to handle periods of drought. A regime of plant nutrition will keep your plants in seasonal abundance.

A garden is not a product, it is a process! With a rich knowledge of Classic Horticultural methods, I ensure that your garden will mature gracefully and afford you plenty of opportunities to enjoy your green spaces.
