Ornamental grasses are a brilliant way to bring softness, movement and year-round texture into a garden. They work beautifully against strong architectural lines, helping to loosen the space and give it a more natural, layered feel. As they move with the breeze and shift through the seasons, they add that effortless sense of life every garden needs.

Absolutely — this one can carry a bit more editorial weight:

When designed well, a pergola doesn’t just frame the garden. It grows with it.

Through vertical planting, climbing greenery, and layered textures, the structure becomes softer, cooler, and more connected to the landscape around it.

Dichondra repens, doing the quiet work.

Softening the hard lines, filling the gaps, and turning each pathway into part of the garden.

Used between steppers and around natural stone, this low-growing groundcover brings a softer rhythm to the landscape — blurring the line between structure and planting in the most effortless way.

💡Inge’s tips:
Plant it where it can gently trail and spread, especially between pavers or along garden edges. Keep the soil lightly moist while it establishes, trim where needed to maintain shape, and avoid heavy foot traffic in the early stages so it can settle in beautifully.

I don’t usually do colour — but when I do, it comes with foliage, texture, and a little garden drama.

A layered Australian garden moment — soft hydrangeas, ornamental grasses, glossy green foliage, and the sculptural burst of Bird of Paradise bringing colour, height, and a little drama to the planting palette.

Designed to feel lush, relaxed, and full of life — with every corner offering a different texture, movement, and seasonal surprise.

A garden becomes cohesive when the same language appears in different ways.

Glossy leaves, soft grasses and layered green textures move through each corner — sometimes as ground cover, sometimes as structure, sometimes as a quiet frame around the path.

Different corners, one connected garden.

A pathway is never just a way through the garden.

It sets the rhythm of how a space is experienced — guiding movement, softening transitions and creating quiet moments between architecture and planting.

Here, stepping stones are softened with low groundcover, layered planting and textured foliage to create a path that feels integrated rather than imposed.

The result is functional, but never rigid: a garden designed to be moved through slowly.

A pathway designed with the planting, not around it.

Large-format steppers create a clear circulation line, while low groundcovers soften the edges and reduce exposed soil between each stone. Around the path, gravel zones support drainage and separate planting pockets, helping the garden manage water more efficiently.

The mix of native textures — including Casuarina-style fine foliage, ornamental grasses and compact shrubs — gives the space movement, structure and climate resilience without feeling overworked.

A functional garden detail that balances access, softness and long-term plant performance.

A flowering jasmine hedge brings more than beauty to the garden.

It creates privacy, softens structure, attracts pollinators and adds a gentle seasonal fragrance that makes the outdoor space feel alive.

Garden tip: fragrant climbers and flowering hedges like jasmine are ideal for softening boundaries, creating privacy and adding seasonal interest without making the space feel heavy.

A layered garden is never just about planting more — it’s about creating rhythm, depth and softness in every view.

Here, climbers, groundcovers and structured foliage work together to soften the dark timber fence, guide the eye along the boundary and turn a simple side passage into a living, textural moment.

🦔Design tips:
Use vertical planting to soften hard surfaces.
Layer different leaf shapes for depth and movement.
Let climbers frame fences, walls and narrow spaces.
Add groundcovers at the base to create a fuller, more established look.
Keep the palette natural, so the garden feels calm rather than crowded.

A garden designed to soften architecture, guide movement and bring texture into every view.

Layered grasses, natural stone and sculptural planting create a landscape that feels calm, grounded and quietly alive.

Design tips from this garden:

• Use soft grasses to balance strong architectural lines.
• Let stepping stones guide movement naturally, rather than creating a rigid path.
• Mix gravel, stone and planting for texture, drainage and a more grounded feel.
• Choose sculptural plants to add structure without overwhelming the space.
• Repeat similar textures throughout the garden to create a more cohesive flow.
