Horticulture and Planting Design


Horticulture and planting design are an integral part of our practice, and we are passionate about the difference good, diverse planting design can make to any landscape.    Our landscapes are built around a strong understanding of plants and their maintenance and growing requirements.   We look to create landscapes which are beautiful, diverse and resilient.  With a background in horticulture and experience working in botanic gardens across Victoria we have a strong planting palette to draw on in our designs.

Good planting design is reliant on good horticultural knowledge and sound professional practice.   To direct this, we can also assist with strategic horticultural projects such as Horticultural Master Plans, Tree Strategies and Living Collections management.   These are the types of documents which guide the horticultural direction of a landscape as a whole.   We are especially passionate about living collections management and developing a strategic approach to the management of botanic garden’s plant collections.  It is these curated collections which make a botanic garden different to a public park, and we enjoy working with organisations to determine a focus for their collections which supports both the individual garden, and the wider botanic gardens' network in their conservation and horticultural aims.
