Grey Lynn Garden  

Client: Jacqui Vaughn & Craig Kells

The house and pool were disconnected with a patchy, slippery bowl of lawn in between with DIY decks in need of replacement. The solution was to create generous entertaining areas accessed from the house and stepped platforms floating above the garden to the new pool area pulling everything together. This formed an easy transition in and around the garden. The original stand of bananas and a cabbage tree were kept and layers of native and sub-tropical planting with feature plants, leaf colour and texture were added to provide a lush and private oasis resulting in a resort look and feel. A truly immersive experience in a central city garden.

“From Donnas very first visit, we found her to be easy to understand and full of great vision and expertise, knowledge of planting, lighting and a total feel for what a family desire from their space. I would recommend Seed Landscapes without any hesitation and truly stand amazed at the transformation of our much treasured home.”  - Jacqui Vaughan

Turning Ideas Into Gardens – It All Starts With Seed

At Seed we believe that gardens are for living. We love working with clients to change how they live, relate and connect in the garden, improving families lives by having a garden that works for them. It gives me great joy and satisfaction to see how the garden experience for our family of clients is transformed and to be able to share my expression in the form of beautiful living spaces for people.

Gardens are dynamic, evocative, touchable spaces. Change your environment and you will be transported. We aim to provide value to our clients by guiding them to visualise and achieve a garden they absolutely love.

Seeds' director and principal designer is Donna Stanish. Donna graduated from Unitec in 1999 with a Diploma in Landscape Design and has been designing gardens for private homes and commercial clients while gaining knowledge and experience ever since.

A hands-on passionate gardener, I have been very fortunate to travel and visit cultural and historical gardens throughout the world.
