Have you ever wondered what native animals live in your area?

Well the best way to find out is to build a garden that they cant resist! Selecting the right plants and layout is the first step to bringing the wildlife back to your garden.

Plant we're loving right now: Pincushion hakea (Hakea laurina).

Perfectly round flower heads in deep crimson and cream, held along the stems like a string of pins, right through the coldest months. Tough, fast-draining ground and an open, sunny spot are all it asks for — and it repays with one of the most striking flowers in the native palette, loved by honeyeaters as much as by us.

Save this for your next planting day.

Its a problem we see all too often. People wanting to save money and do it themselves.

Without some direction, this is a very costly mistake. Plants in the wrong spot. Pavers laid without the proper preparation. Doing it a second time is expensive.

Do it right the first time, with a plan.

A corten fire bowl at the centre of a sunken circular gravel section, planting pressing in on every side. Built for long evenings.

The planting was designed to "hug" the space. Even though this block is in a residential setting, you feel completely in nature.

Plant we're loving right now: Water milfoil (Myriophyllum).

Soft, feathered whorls of bright green rise just clear of the water and carpet the surface below it — the plant that quietly does the work in a natural pond. It oxygenates the water, shades out algae, and gives frogs, dragonflies and small fish the cover they need. An indigenous milfoil is the backbone of any water garden we build.

The narrowest, most-forgotten strip of a block — the side return — turned into a dappled, planted walk between house and fence.

A concept render showing how much a thin space can hold.

Plant we're loving right now: Snowy pimelea (Pimelea nivea).

A quietly beautiful shrub with neat, near-round leaves — deep green above, felted snow-white beneath — that catch the light as they move. Rounded heads of white, faintly pink-flushed flowers sit above the foliage through spring and summer. It brings a soft, silvered texture we love threading between darker structural forms in a dry, well-drained bed.

Last light through a stand of eucalypts, a still pond, and a quiet gate beyond. The kind of moment a garden gives back at the end of the day.

This is a render from a very special project that is currently getting built. A 1.7 hectare garden, designed for a Buddhist Monk temple to encourage the public to experience the life of Buddha.

Plant we're loving right now: Scaly phebalium (Phebalium squamulosum).

Clusters of soft cream-to-butter stars smother this aromatic shrub from late winter into spring — one of the first things to lift a garden out of the cold months. Rusty scales dust the buds and leaf undersides, and the whole plant carries a warm, citrus-resin scent when brushed. It holds a tidy upright form in well-drained ground and asks for very little once away.
