Our team is busy today, adding a fresh selection of water-smart plants to this beautiful rooftop garden in Camberwell.

The new planting will add colour, texture and greenery while being well suited to the rooftop environment and helping to make the garden more water-efficient.

For this Brighton garden, we chose Agave ‘Blue Glow’ as a standout feature plant.

With its sculptural form, blue-green foliage and compact size, this low-maintenance succulent makes a strong statement without overwhelming the space. Its cool tones also create a beautiful contrast against the grey wall of the property, adding texture, structure and visual interest to the garden.

A simple planting choice with plenty of impact.

Winter has a way of showing off the garden in the most unexpected colours, and the Parrotia persica is a perfect example.

With its rich mix of golds, russets and deep reds, it brings warmth and texture to the landscape just when you need it most.

We love seeing how thoughtful planting choices like this can transform a space across every season.

Are you considering a green roof for your property?

Green roofs offer more than visual appeal — they improve energy efficiency, reduce stormwater runoff, and support urban biodiversity. In Australia's climate, they are a smart, sustainable choice for both residential and commercial buildings.

We are out plant shopping today and came across Parthenocissus sikkimensis. It’s a great all-rounder plant that is tough, low-maintenance, and versatile enough to be used as either a climber or for ground cover.

Our team continues to maintain this front garden in Malvern, where the Lagerstroemia, commonly known as crape myrtle, is showcasing its stunning autumn foliage.

One of our favourites, Hakea petiolaris, is often admired for its striking sea urchin-like flowers, but its foliage is just as stunning.

A busy morning at the nursery collecting plants for an exciting new garden project in Malvern. Looking forward to bringing this landscape to life with a carefully selected mix of planting designed to thrive and grow beautifully over time.

Our team is currently carrying out maintenance at a property in Croydon and came across this beautiful Hardenbergia violacea in full bloom.

It’s always a nice moment on site when a native plant puts on a show like this, especially flowering in autumn, when colour in the garden can be a little unexpected.
