“Sally Bourne Landscapes did a wonderful job in liaising and consulting with the Cowra community about the plan for Cowra Nature Based Adventure Playground. Sally was very approachable and encouraging for many first time and young planners and they enjoyed the experience in providing their input into the final plan. The final design and implementation has been extremely popular and an asset to Cowra. Sally’s expertise and vision was first class.”

Canowindra Public School
“Each day Teachers, Staff, Children and Visitors all benefit from this environment of learning and play. With the skills, knowledge and expertise of Sally Bourne this beautiful place has been created. Sally, when approached by P & C and Staff at the school to design a garden to hold up to daily traffic and improve the presentation of the School, put her heart and soul into making this project happen. Delivering a detailed plan and spending time explaining the plan made this decision very easy to make and go ahead with. Grasses, natives, trees and special places including a Kindy Fairy Garden are all in the lovely things you find when walking through the School Grounds. With no hesitation would I recommend the professional services of Sally Bourne Landscapes if you are considering any works for a school or private property.”
Eric, Canowindra Public School

Gumnut Grove Childcare, Young
“It gives me great pleasure to write this reference for Sally Bourne Landscapes. Sally Bourne was asked to design us a safe and inviting playground for children aged 0-3 years in April this year. Sally drew a landscape master plan in consultation with the centres needs and ideas. On every occasion of dealings with Sally I found her professional and very easy to deal with. We were thrilled with our finalised plan and now we have undertaken our stage one works we are very impressed with the plan and our newly landscaped yard. We can’t thank Sally enough for her help in creating a new playground for children aged 0-3 years, and I have no hesitations in recommending Sally for future works.”
