Nick redesigned public bedding display gardens in south and east Auckland to replace the traditional bedding, which was changed three times a year at considerable expense, with permanent perennial planting of colourful flowering and foliage plants that give strong display qualities and reduce costs. Work has included all design from initial concepts to planting plans and site supervision. A number of these are now well established and illustrate an approach to using perennials that is well suited to residential sites.

Professional Reviews

“Here are some comments from residential garden clients: ‘Nick has a huge amount of knowledge and experience and presented us with some truly great ideas. His attention to creative detail was evident everywhere and we are absolutely delighted with the impact of his design.’ - Jon Bartlett & Ruth Pearson, 2013 'I'd like to thank you for all your hard work and ideas in designing and implementing the planting plan for Bushey Wood Road … it was like a breath of fresh air when you talked to us about the garden. ... We're absolutely delighted with the result ... Your plant knowledge has really come to the fore and the balance of structure, height and colour has produced a great garden. All of our friends are staggered by the intensity of the planting, and the overall impression looks as if the garden has been here for years, when in fact at this time last year, we hadn't a single plant in the garden.' - David & Jean Ogden 2013”
