A merge of modern & traditional design
This design is an urban oasis with a country feel, making the ex-farming owners feel right at home.
The brief:
-
Urban oasis with a country garden feel
The design considered the use of drought tolerant plantings with soft ethereal forms to create a sheltered & private garden for former farmers moving into town.
-
Garden rooms
Connection of functional zones including a hidden zone for clothes line & veggie beds, paths to offer a sense of discovery & a garden to encourage the kids to venture out into sunshine.
-
Sense of journey
Oversized bluestone steppers surface the entry path & create a romantic whimsical feel within the garden, softened with pretty ground covers & layered plantings.

From the owners
“We chose Sally Bourne Landscapes because I really liked Sally's careful and considered approach to her garden designs. Sally was very mindful of our vision and delivered beautifully! She transformed our site from a very ordinary urban backyard to a charming and romantic oasis. She not only has great design skills but also has great attention to detail. The best part of working with Sally was knowing that everything is taken care of from the master plan and planting schedule to the hardscaping contractor. Sally has also provided us with loads of information to continue to tend to our garden and watch it grow around us. What a wonderful result. Thank you.” - Catherine & Hugh
