Planting description
A Japanese inspired planting scheme with evergreens and a restrained colour palette to work with the existing garden design and planting. Evergreen Podocarpus macrophyllus with its lustrous leaves and the sedge Carex 'Ice Dance' provide evergreen underplanting with contrasting textures. Allium 'White Giant' will provide globes of bright white flowers in late spring, alongside the creamy-white spring flowers of the Pittosporum.
It has been my pleasure to have engaged and worked with Rebecca in our garden re-design project.
Rebecca made many visits to our garden, discussed in detail our needs and provided examples of plants to consider. She lovingly produced planting plans to show siting of plants including an elevation drawings when needed; she even corresponded with suppliers to ensure we had what we needed to complete the project.
Rebecca has been attentive, thorough, insightful and genuinely partnering in helping us achieve our outcomes. I would highly recommend Rebecca in any gardening project you are undertaking.
