This Marrickville garden was created with family in mind.

Understanding that the garden would be enjoyed by people of all ages, it was important that the layout provided open places for play and entertainment, as well as functional areas which include thriving and abundant kitchen gardens.

Bold planting was chosen including a mix of native and exotic plants which, although simple, create a gentle atmosphere as they sway in the breeze.

What the client says:

“Our new garden is green and lush, with beautiful plants, as well as a veggie patch and a passionfruit vine. Nicola, James, and the rest of the team were always professional and lovely to deal with. They also had excellent knowledge of the plants, planting conditions, and structures, and we're always happy to answer questions and give advice about maintenance or repair. We love our new garden and are delighted to recommend Pepo.”

The selection of plant species was daring, encompassing a blend of native and exotic varieties that, though unassuming, contribute to an ambiance of tranquillity as they sway gracefully in the wind.
