By Rough Milne Mitchell Landscape Architects
RMM’s design provides a garden that enriches the client’s lifestyle while also enhancing the Avon River which runs through the property. Timber, corten steel and local stone have been used to complement the architectural features of the existing residence and create a harmonious design. This results in a subtle, sophisticated, and timeless garden.
The planting palette chosen creates evergreen structure and seasonal perennial plants, as well as bulbs which provide an abundance of picking foliage and flowers. Native planting along the Avon Riverbank enriches the biodiversity of the river. Species used are those that would have once naturally grown within this environment. The overhanging sedges provide welcome shade to the abundant river life.
