LOVE LOVE LOVE cloud pruned trees! ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ M LOVE LOVE LOVE cloud pruned trees! ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Maybe because I went for walks as a child around my neighbourhood and all the good looking houses had them strategically placed in their outdoor spaces.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Or maybe they just remind me of keeping it simple but visually interesting and green? Dad also stayed in Japan for some years so there is a little but of that influence come through! ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ In any case, whatever the reason, they are embedded in my DNA as I find that I'm really drawn to them!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Glad to say that my upcoming design in Murrumbeena is going to have one! Yay! Finally! They are really expensive so I'm really excited and sooo thrilled to hear that construction on that one starts in April 2021 and I can't wait to finally plant the garden out after working on the design with my lovely clients late last year!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ The lovely inspirational design reflected in this reposted picture is unfortunately not mine but you get the idea about how amazing textures and simple architectural plants can be for your front garden! 💚💚💚⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #Repost @sitedesign_studios⁠⁠ Landscape Architects: Julian Brady⁠⁠ ⁠⁠
🌳 Trees!⁠ 🌳⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ What do you they 🌳 Trees!⁠ 🌳⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ What do you they mean for you and your garden?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Do you think about your childhood climbing one?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Do you think about your kite being stuck in one or your cat (or turtle if you watch Peppa Pig like I do! :))⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ What about the shade they throw on your garden giving you the respite from the warm weather? ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ What about the protection they give insect and birdlife and not to mention to other understorey plants.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Have you noticed the vertical majesty they provide to your garden design?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Ah and what about you having a "me zone" nestled in your hammock underneath one or creating a space for meditating around it?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Yup, trees are amazing!! 💚
⁠⁠ I love black and white - its classic and cr ⁠⁠ I love black and white - its classic and creates a sense of drama.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ I could have easily taken this picture full of colour and the story being narrated will be different.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Here, by omitting the colours, you focus on shapes and textures and create an intrigue of what elements are being used in the design. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ What do you see when you look at the picture? ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Do tell if you recognise the plants! 💚
Artfully distressed or rusted iron and steel offer Artfully distressed or rusted iron and steel offer a rustic charm, while metals such as bronze or copper can add a glamorous touch to an outdoor area.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Here is a recent picture of our Glen Waverley project completed in 2015 using custom corten steel panels which double up as a lightbox.💚
Wherever life plants you, bloom with grace.⁠⁠ Wherever life plants you, bloom with grace.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ A French proverb which is quite well known. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ It sounds simple, but carries a lot of meaning. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ No matter where you are settled, there is always that bit of fear within you of the what ifs and the unknown in the windy road that is life. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Wherever you feel called, know that there is beauty in being rooted. There is beauty in accepting where you are – even if it’s only for a season. There is even more beauty when you learn to thrive. 💚
"Art" ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ the expression or application "Art" ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Art is of course is open to interpretation.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ I loved this creation so I thought I'd finally share it as it gave such joy both to my youngest and I when we spotted it on a way back from a client's.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ This was when lockdown was finally eased up in Melbourne in November 2020 and we could travel beyond the 5kms restriction. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Very thankful to the person or family that created this! 💚
Why not create a vege nook in an unused corner in Why not create a vege nook in an unused corner in your garden?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ In creates a win-win situation all round. Bountiful healthy, organic harvest to be shared with family and friends and has made use of a neglected space!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ As you can see from the picture you can make use of both built in garden beds or simply use portable pots to boost your harvest! ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Bundoora project completed in 2015! Still creating bounty for my lovely clients! 💚
What are the benefits of pathway lights?⁠⁠ ⁠ What are the benefits of pathway lights?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ In addition to leading the way in the dark, pathway lights offer other benefits, including:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 💡Home security.⁠⁠ 💡Protection of path border plants from being trampled on.⁠⁠ 💡Marking path boundaries.⁠⁠ 💡Highlighting your favourite low garden plants.⁠⁠ 💡Added curb appeal.⁠⁠ 💡Ambient lighting for garden entertaining.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 💚
A different view of the humble fig? ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ A different view of the humble fig? ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Or as my close friends will say, my overactive imagination!!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Love this shot of their fan shaped leaves as they remind me of an Indian dancer spinning around!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ What do you see in your garden using your imagination? 💚
