Design for Planting 

We design for planting ,creating unique, site specific planting plans with supporting documentation detailing species, location, soil treatment, mulching and maintenance requirements to establish and augment existing places of vegetation. Our aim is to work gently, connecting people with nature. I work on ideas and projects together in collaboration with a qualified Horticulturist with an innovative unique approach that includes...

  • Regeneration
  • Water sensitive design
  • Organic design 
  • Design for climate adaption, future proofing
  • Design for ecosystem services 
  • Habitats for wildlife/Fauna sensitive urban design and wildlife movement solutions 
  • Pollinator gardens
  • Design for accessibility/inclusivity
  • Focus on developing improved microbiological soil health
  • Recycling materials by design
  • Container gardening
  • Vertical gardens
  • Healing gardens and sacred spaces
  • A process that cares for and celebrates country, respect

Urban Forests Brisbane

 

The urban forest design includes creating new areas of vegetation and augmenting existing areas with locally occurring species of native groundcover, grasses, shrubs, vines and trees including Eucalyptus in Brisbane and South East Queensland. The threatened Eucalyptus curtisii  known as the Brisbane Plunket Mallee that naturally occur in Brisbane will feature throughout. These areas of natural beauty will provide important places and opportunities for people to connect with and conserve nature, habitat for our native animals and insects and improve the livability of Brisbane through improving air quality and reducing the heat island affect happening now as a result of densification. The projects can be of any scale from a container on a balcony or in a courtyard, a private garden of any size, bushland reserves or a forest in need of recovery, creek corridors riparian, an existing commercial or industrial garden, within a public park or green space and even a street verge or footpath !

Planting Plan

The planting plan explains what the design delivers and details species, numbers and location. Other documentation created as part of the drawing package detailed levels ,drainage ,erosion control, soil preparation and maintenance.
