By Pepo Botanic Design
Lush abundance envelopes this Darling Point home, thanks to the thoughtful synthesis of complementary design elements and beautiful plant choices.
The soft, weeping plumes of the Acacia cognata ‘Limelight’ can be seen as they playfully ‘pop’ among the Loropetalum chinense ‘Purple Pixie’ and the Plectranthus argentatus in the rear garden.
Contrasting shapes such as balls of Buxus create added interest. The gently curved edging that borders the lawn enhances the vision and provides the perfect counterpoint to the angular contours of the adjoining pool. This area is thoughtfully finished with comfortable seating and a handful of handsome pots from Garden Life.
Inspired by delicate Japanese elements, the design is contained but free-flowing within each of the spaces. A small Buddha sits peacefully below the trees. Bluestone steppers are nestled among huddles of Viola hederacea and these pretty purple and white flowering plants are repeated along the driveway, beneath the lush foliage of the Nandina ‘Lemon Lime’.
Enthused by their new bountiful surroundings, the children can play freely and explore their very own wonderland of greenery.

Our Story
Talented visual artist Nicola Cameron established Pepo in 2000, looking to weave her experience in photography and film into a different and creative living medium. Landscape design and horticulture provided the perfect platform to conceive her beautiful creations, passion for unique design aesthetics, and love of plants.
In 2007, Nicola’s husband James Perkin was appointed Construction Manager of Pepo, joining a team of specialists dedicated to turning a client’s dream into a practical and beautiful reality.
Hundreds of alluring gardens, courtyards, balconies, and rural retreats have been brought to life since the business began and the team continues to provide a premium landscape architectural service, brimming with creativity and inspiration every day.
