NICK ROBINSON

A beautifully designed subtropical garden in Auckland, featuring a harmonious blend of sculptural hardscapes and lush vegetation, creating dramatic contrasts of light and shade within a serene, walled environment.

Nick designed and detailed the planting and hard landscape as part of the development of a well established suburban garden. Sudden contrasts of light and shade dramatize the mysterious walled garden and steps and walls provide a strongly sculptural contrast to the organic forms and textures of lush vegetation.

Professional Reviews

“Here are some comments from residential garden clients: ‘Nick has a huge amount of knowledge and experience and presented us with some truly great ideas. His attention to creative detail was evident everywhere and we are absolutely delighted with the impact of his design.’ - Jon Bartlett & Ruth Pearson, 2013 'I'd like to thank you for all your hard work and ideas in designing and implementing the planting plan for Bushey Wood Road … it was like a breath of fresh air when you talked to us about the garden. ... We're absolutely delighted with the result ... Your plant knowledge has really come to the fore and the balance of structure, height and colour has produced a great garden. All of our friends are staggered by the intensity of the planting, and the overall impression looks as if the garden has been here for years, when in fact at this time last year, we hadn't a single plant in the garden.' - David & Jean Ogden 2013”
