A seaside courtyard garden built for entertaining has become a gathering place for the family. Protection from the elements with winds from its cliff top positions were mitigated with planting in an adjacent courtyard. Raised beds define the spaces, planted with suitably tough and bold feature planting. Wide decking and built in seating incorporated into the timber slat clad retaining wall alternately showing pops of colour, create a relaxed contemporary feel. This project showcases our expertise in creating outdoor spaces that are not only visually pleasing but also practical and enjoyable. The carefully curated selection of materials and thoughtful detailing reflect our dedication to creating bespoke landscapes that stand the test of time.
Here's what the client had to say...
We first engaged with Donna early in 2012 when we wanted to transform our dark, overgrown and uninspiring back garden and deck area. We are not gardeners and we wanted something simple, elegant and easy to maintain. Donna's design exceeded all our expectations and the transformation was more than we could have hoped for. Now, 6 years on after enjoying our lovely deck, patio and garden area, we are renovating and extending our house which means we have to redesign the deck and garden. We didn't hesitate to enlist Donna again and we feel confident that she will once again create the perfect space.

Turning Ideas Into Gardens – It All Starts With Seed
At Seed we believe that gardens are for living. I love working with clients to change how they live, relate and connect in the garden. It really does improve families lives having a garden that works for you. It gives me great joy and satisfaction to see how the garden experience for my family of clients is transformed. I am proud to be part of this and honoured 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
