THE DETAIL

What the job actually looks like.

Whether it is a seasonal refresh, replacing what has tired out, or filling a bed from scratch, I choose plants that will thrive, then set them up to establish well.

Drawing on thirty years of design instinct, I plant in considered drifts, not a one-of-everything jumble, so the garden reads as designed.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why the right planting matters

The wrong plant in the wrong spot sulks, struggles and gets replaced, wasting money and a season of growth.

Choosing species suited to your soil, aspect and climate, and planting them well, gives you a garden that establishes fast, needs less work and actually thrives.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Planting, commonly asked.

Yes, I can source plants suited to your soil and aspect, or work with ones you've chosen. I'll advise either way.

Autumn and spring are ideal for most planting in Melbourne's east, but I plant year-round with the right aftercare.

I choose hardy, climate-suited species and plant them well to establish, and give you simple aftercare so they thrive.
