Transformation to come for this Grey Lyn backyard. Currently the yard is spilt into two levels making it unusable. Spoil from the pool dig will be used to fill the lower side creating a sunken deck area for a gas fireplace and a seamless connection from lawn to pool area.

Busy week supervising planting at the new Taranaki Base hospital. Over 2500 plants carefully placed ready for the team @ It was a real privilege to be apart of such an important public project from design to implementation. I look forward to seeing the plants mature across all areas including the main entrance, sw pond and a cool shaded void garden.

'Design for a cave' Design should celebrate place and context. This design on the edge of a Mt Eden lava flow draws attention to the textures and uniqueness of this feature. Cant wait to see the glow of the fire upon the rock face at night!

In 2025, I completed a Certificate in Permaculture Design. I endeavour to apply these learnings within my garden design practice. This approach goes beyond purely sustainable and organic gardening; it considers how a landscape can function as a living system, where each element interacts to support and benefit both people and the wider environment.🏡

Key aspects of this approach include building and nurturing soil health, incorporating companion planting strategies, designing with resilient and renewable resources, and fostering community engagement. 🌻 The aim is to create gardens that are productive, regenerative, and deeply connected to their site and neighbourhood context.
Below is my own vegetable garden, where I have begun observing and 'experimenting'. 😃 I look forward to this new journey of discovering the opportunities permaculture can bring for my clients, friends and family.

It often doesn't take much to improve an existing space. This front door entry area was too long and uninviting. I simply cut the deck back, added a roof cover and placed two feature corten pots with bold colorful planting.

One from the archives. This week 20 years ago at the Ellerslie flower Show whilst studying my Diploma 'Dream Space' won Silver and the Supreme lighting award. What a showstopper it was! I can say my designs are now a lot more practical :)
