As the owner and founder of Regenerative Designs, I created this personal garden as a showcase of the beauty and benefits of native Australian plants. This project reflects my passion for sustainable landscape design and my commitment to creating thriving, eco-friendly outdoor spaces.

This garden serves as a personal sanctuary, providing a peaceful retreat for relaxation and inspiration. It's also a living laboratory where I can experiment with different plant combinations, design techniques, and sustainable practices.

To create a sustainable, wildlife-friendly garden that showcases the beauty of native Australian plants and provides a peaceful outdoor retreat.

The design focused on incorporating native plants, permeable surfaces, and natural materials to create a sustainable and inviting space.

Key elements included:

Circular Sitting Area: A dry-stack sandstone wall creates a circular sitting area that doubles as a firepit, providing a secluded and cozy gathering space.

Native Plant Showcase: A diverse range of native plants, including flowering shrubs, grasses, and groundcovers, create a vibrant and eco-friendly landscape.

Permeable Surfaces: The use of permeable paving materials helps to reduce stormwater runoff and improve soil health.

Limited Space: The project involved maximizing the potential of a relatively small front yard by carefully selecting plants and incorporating space-saving design elements.

Wildlife Attraction: The use of native plants and natural materials creates a habitat that attracts a variety of wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and lizards.

The completed garden transformed a lifeless lawn into a thriving wildlife haven. The native plants create a vibrant and sustainable landscape, while the circular sitting area provides a peaceful and inviting space for relaxation and contemplation. The garden's unique Australian character serves as an inspiration for others to embrace native plants in their own gardens and support local biodiversity.
