Garden Consultations

Linda loves gardens and thanks to her 30 years experience can quickly see the potential and possibilities. When you are in need of a quick garden fix, garden revamp or complete garden restoration, Linda starts with a private consultation. She walks the site with you, learning as much as she can about you, the site, micro-climate and your needs. She will talk through a selection of ideas and site based solutions while providing a list of plants that will thrive in your garden and rough sketch design drawings.

Garden Design Drawings

Linda writes a proposal, a brief, a garden report and the scope of work to design your garden. Linda gets to know your site, works this with her understanding of your needs and what you hope to achieve in your landscape and garden.

If you are starting from a blank canvas or need landscape plans for council approval, you will need landscape plans and a detailed planting plan. Some clients may like three dimensional rendered drawings to fully appreciate the spacial elements of her garden design.

Linda works with Joanne Aquilina and Therapeutic Gardens Australia to create meaningful and interactive outdoor spaces, sensory gardens and memory gardens in aged care homes, schools and hospitals for a range of abililies. She loves to design sensory gardens for children, aged care homes and memory care units.
