This small herb garden measuring approximately three
metres by four metres, could be incorporated into most larger gardens.
Mediterranean herbs, rosemary, lavender, thyme, sage, thyme and bay have
been added to cope with hot dry situations. The garden is enclosed by a
picket fence and features a small seat covered by an archway to give
the user some shade and privacy. This garden would not only smell great,
but also be useful for culinary treats. The plans show concept,
planting, elevations, cross section, hard landscaping, and also a
lighting plan.
An awkward shaped section has been softened by the
use of curved borders. A large graveled area has been broken up by the
use of a small island border creating interest and surprise. A large
paved area allows for entertaining on a grand scale. A lap pool allows
further use of the area and becomes the main focal point to this coastal
garden. The coastal theme has been emphasized by the use of sympathetic
hardy coastal plants. The use of a boat creates an interesting focal
point and is in keeping with the coastal theme. Sympathetic materials
have been used, these include sandstone courtyard pavers, river stone
mulch, shell and post and rope fencing.
This small town garden maximizes the use of space for
entertainment and screens off unwanted views from the utility area.
Strong curved borders flow down one side of the garden and lead into a
circular lawn area, making the garden feel larger than it is. A water
feature has been added to create interest and focus. Smaller established
native trees and nikau palms give this garden a native feel, and is
ideal for attracting the birds while also achieving privacy for
entertaining.
This pergola was designed to be part of a larger
garden. The plan shows elevation and cross sections of the pergola to
allow ease of construction. The pergola was designed from a similar
pergola situated at the
Auckland Botanical Gardens.
This formal garden was inspired by the famous Italian
garden Villa Lante. It highlights the impressive nature of formal
gardens and what can be achieved through symmetrical balance. Water
features including fountains, waterfalls, and rills have all been added
to create spectacular awe, and designed to overwhelm and impress the
viewer. A garden of this size could occupy at least 8000square metres or
2 acres of land. Smaller formal gardens can also be designed.
