Overview
The woodchip ground plane, the rhythmic grass planting, the climbing jasmine trained on bespoke wire, and the birdbath focal point work together to create a space that reads as considered and calm. The shade-tolerance of the chosen palette means the garden performs consistently through Sydney’s summers without ongoing irrigation beyond the establishment period.
