Dear visitor,

We’re in the midst of upgrading this website. Here’s a preview of the draft text for our new Home page:

Secrets of the world’s great gardens

Learn how to create
•    a garden of timeless style and unrivalled beauty
•    a sustainable garden in harmony with the natural environment
•    a healthy garden that thrives without harmful chemicals
•    a haven for native songbirds, frogs and other wildlife
•    a water-wise garden that's easy to maintain and saves you time and money.

I’ll also teach you
•    how to choose the right plants for your garden
•    the pros and cons of  turf, lawn seed and ground cover alternatives
•    how to detect ‘junk’ plants, and why the nursery industry promotes them
•    how to find a landscape designer and/or landscape contractor.

You won’t find this information in gardening magazines or TV makeover shows.

If you live within the Sydney region of New South Wales, Australia, the plant lists – for bushfire protection, drought tolerance, fence screening, wildlife and more  – will save you countless hours of research. (We’ve done the research already.)

And if you’re looking for inspiration, be sure to view the photo gallery and read a selection of quotations that inspire us.

I hope they inspire you too.

Gordon Rowland, Indigenous Landscape Design Australia
