From the owners
“We live on a rural property so we were not confined for space and basically gave Sally an open book to come up with a design and put it to paper. We did place a small number of constraints - namely minimal water requirements, low maintenance and use of native species. Sally carefully incorporated existing plants with other new plantings. The curves of garden beds, textures, foliage and colours of the plants she carefully designed & planned out make it the beautiful garden it is. It was essential our garden was water wise, which Sally also achieved. Whilst we have constructed our garden in stages, Sally continues to be helpful, provides advice & shares her knowledge. Not only has she designed the beds, Sally has also provided advice where to buy plants from in our local area and what size of pots to get them in. As the garden has continued to mature and grow Sally has come back with advice and is genuinely interested in the progress of the garden. We have many compliments on the garden and more importantly my family and I are very happy with it'.” - Sophie
