BLOG
Our blog documents the issues we're interested in, like what plants to plant around about now, options about what to do with various pests, which varieties of plant grow best in different locations in your garden and which are suited to the Central Coast generally.
So you'll find examples of our work and lots of information to help you in your own garden.
In addition to a regular blog we've collected a range of short articles and links for gardeners to get the most out of their gardens. To visit the blog click here.
TESTIMONIALS
Adam is far too modest for his own good. Look at many of the beautiful gardens of the major waterfronts of Wagstaffe and Hardys Bay and you're seeing his work.
Adam has an eye for form, an understanding of the soils and native plants of the region and tremendous attention to detail that results not only in satisfying and livable designs but also in clients who are satisfied with the delivery of their projects.
Adam and his team have developed two major waterfront landscaping projects for us, both of which we have been delighted with, and has also implemented innovative environmental projects such as a large under-garden water tank using light recycled plastics rather than concrete.

2. US First Lady, Michelle Obama, recently worked with White House Chefs and over 100 local school children to plant a kitchen garden in the grounds of the South Lawn of White House.
3. For the first time since the war, fruit and vegetables are to be found in an allotment-sized plot in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. Called the Yard Bed, Buckingham Palace's 4x10 metre plot is in an area to the garden's rear, tight up against the Gardeners' Yard.
"Not ideal, but it is the only open space available, because everything is so landscaped," admitted deputy gardens manager Claire Midgley, 32, one of eight gardeners at the palace.
Chemicals and pesticides have been banned. Liquid seaweed is being used to feed the plants and garlic to deter aphids. Mulch from the palace compost heap was used to bed in and the palace borehole will irrigate the crops.
