Garden Design in and around BrisbaneThe term 'Garden Style' is a combination of themed arrangements of plants, landscape products and materials that reflect a gardens mood. All home owners should understand the reasons for choosing a particular garden style. As a horticulturalist, it is my job to advise on the garden style that is best suited to your needs, your architecture and your environment. When I choose landscape plants they are selected on the basis of a preferred garden style. I consider many constraints and parameters imposed by the client, the site and the surrounding environment. Finally, I choose my selections based on plant vigor and performance. The Australian Open Garden Scheme is a fantastic way to visit gardens in your area and is a unique opportunity to study garden design & style. It is also a great way to learn about plants, and how they are successfully used in horticulture. I am currently preparing a series of Garden Design Fact Sheets (downloadable PDF's) to illustrate the following garden styles that are represented in and around the Brisbane area.
