Gardens for you & wildlife to enjoy
Hi, I am Wendy Furniss
Horticulturalist, Garden Designer, Nature lover.
I believe a great garden is created when people and plants connect with their space.
Every garden owner’s plant loves and hates are individual, as are each garden site, and I enjoy the challenge of unpacking this information, to create a personalised gardens for you and your family’s relaxation and enjoyment.
My garden design style comes from my horticultural background in both indigenous and exotic plants, and the combination of them in today’s climate challenged gardens. Regardless of the style of the garden, I believe we should always seek to include habitat, food and water for our local wildlife to share with us.
Working in garden maintenance I have a hands-on understanding of how to manage your gardens ongoing plant health, the right plant for the right place, the interaction of mowing and hedging requirements, and providing you with seasonal floral delights.
I look forward to meeting you in your garden soon, to see what we can create together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Garden designers act as 'architects' for outdoor environments. They produce design plans that outline the placement of each plant, the arrangement of paths, roads and structures, and other design aspects such as colour schemes, themes, or styles.
The cost of the design process depends on the size of your garden space. A 'New-build' site of less than 200m2 starts at $2000, a 'Family Garden' of 500-1000m2 is around $4000. This includes your consultation, design concept, working plans, planting plans, lighting, irrigation and hardscape materials schedules.
Hiring a garden designer offers numerous advantages, including professional expertise, time savings, and enhanced property value. Designers bring creativity, knowledge of local conditions, and practical solutions, ensuring a functional and visually appealing outdoor space. They can also help you avoid costly mistakes and streamline the planning process.
The duration of the garden design stage varies widely depending on the size and complexity of the garden. Generally, a concept plan can be created within a few weeks, while a detailed design may take several weeks to months.
A complete landscape design and build project, from initial consultation to final planting and aftercare, could take anywhere from a few months to a year depending on the complexity of the design, the number of revisions required, the availability of contractors, and seasonal conditions required for hardscape construction, and the best time to install the plants.
Yes - of course. A full garden design package provides comprehensive plans with precise measurements and material specifications to construct your entire garden project. You can do this in recommended stages according to your own skill and budget, or request quotes for various components.
The best time to start your garden design consultation is any time.
Ultimately, the best time to start your garden design process is when you feel most prepared to dedicate the time and energy to planning and making design choices.
