Happy 7th Birthday to us!

Reflecting back on the past 7 years has been such an amazing experience. Every year brings about its own challenges, but the main aspect is remembering where I began 7 years ago. It has just grown from strength to strength.

We have managed to create some really special outdoor rooms, spaces & dream gardens. Some exciting briefs & designs, installations, project management and collaborations.

“What makes me happy?”
“It is quite simple, seeing a person smile. A smile on a client’s face after a project has been completed is worth a thousand words.”
“Re-working a client’s space brings love, hope and happiness to us all.”

THANK YOU for all your support over the past 7 years.
A big thank you to all my clients, suppliers, and contractors. Without your support, this would not have been possible.

Beautiful West coast.

Upper Wynberg – Phase 2
This area sits alongside the entrance to their home office, where client meetings are held frequently.

Brief:
• Friendly, lush and sophisticated appearance, resembling the work services that they offer their own clients.
• To beautify the space by ensuring that the new garden seems blends in seamlessly with the existing vegetation which already creates a wonderful green backdrop along the neighbouring wall.
• Solve the erosion problem in Winter, when all the rain and soil simply washes down the slope.
• To link the front entrance to the back garden, so that it can become the main walkway when they entertain family and friends.

These Echinopsis pachanoi — 'San Pedro cactus' have really transformed this raised planter. They are striking plants and really create a statement!

They are growing well in the Southern Karoo with very little water and no maintenance.

Together with the Aloes, they complement the stone wall well.

Thank you to for supplying these beauties.

I thoroughly enjoyed transforming this garden for a lovely couple and gorgeous little girl.

We started by clearing out and opening overgrown shrub, both in the front and back garden. Visually, this decluttering of the shrubs and trees made a big impact. We then defined the spaces into lawn and flowerbeds, using the Jura Cobble.

A renewed lawn was a must, both in the front and back garden. By laying instant lawn supplied by , we were able to instantly transform the garden.

The plant palette here was simple, focusing on soft colours: White, pinks and purples. Fragrant, textured, and low maintenance plants. I love using Scabiosa as I ALWAYS see butterflies come into the garden once they start to flower.

Part of the Testimonial from Mrs Smith after we completed the project:

"It’s been a dream of mine since Bailey was born to have a garden that is lush and beautiful and today that dream came true!"

Project HW - Rondebosch.

Courtyard leading from the pedestrian gate to the front door.

Brief: Maximize on the usage of wood….What else would you expect from the owner of Rare Woods. 😊
To create a little oasis that has interest when viewed or entered from multiple entrances/windows. Lush, tropical, solid walkway, water feature, and a meandering pathway for the kids.

What we sew, we will reap. We give this cactus so much love, food and good vibes.

We have been blessed with endless flowers, but especially today. 5 flowers open at the same time with 3 more buds waiting to open.

The flowers are only open for 1 day.
