Sustainable Garden with Creative Coastal Charm 2018

House Notes – Sustainable Garden with Creative Coastal Charm

This garden has been designed to cope with low water retention and other harsh coastal conditions including salt laden winds. Almost entirely native (aside from a few sneaky sentimental favourites) the garden flowers year round creating eye catching and bird attracting features throughout, interspersed with upcycled and repurposed metal artworks.

The garden has been a labour of love over the past 20 years that has gone on to inspire others in the neighbourhood with tell-tale ‘Jan’ gardens dotted all around the surrounding streets. Using a variety of Banksia and Grevillea species has kept this garden low maintenance, unique and fascinating. Metal sculptures of all shapes and sizes create intrigue at every turn.
