Tailored Plant Selection
Plants are the foundation
of a great garden.
The right selection, placement, and sourcing can elevate your outdoor space and set it up for long-term success.
With close to 20 years’ experience and deep knowledge of both exotic and native species, I offer a Tailored Plant Selection service that brings clarity and confidence to your planting choices.
​
This service is ideal if you're working on a new garden or refining an existing one, and want expert guidance to ensure every plant is chosen for the right reason and the right location.
Whether you need just a few strategic additions or an entire planting plan, I’ll help you select species that will thrive in your conditions and suit the overall design.
Practical planting plans
Each plan is tailored to your garden and includes mature height and width of all selected plants to ensure appropriate spacing and scale. The planting layout is designed with long-term growth in mind—so your garden not only looks great at installation, but continues to flourish over time.
​
You’ll receive a clear and practical list of recommended species, with the option to include plant sourcing and delivery. If you're managing your own installation or working with a landscaper, this ensures everyone is working from the same informed, professional guide.
Plant sourcing & set-out
I can organise plant purchasing on your behalf through trusted nurseries and suppliers, ensuring access to quality stock and the correct species.
A plant list will include suggested pot sizes, and a quote for supply and delivery can be provided as part of the service.
Once the plants are delivered, I offer on-site set-out—positioning each plant in its intended spot based on the design.
This is a crucial step that allows for real-time adjustments, ensures good flow and spacing, and gives the planting a sense of cohesion before anything is in the ground.
Experience that saves time & money
Plant selection and set-out is where practical knowledge meets creative design. A well-planned planting scheme saves time during installation, reduces the risk of costly rework, and supports healthier, more resilient plant growth. My role is to guide the process so your garden is not only beautiful, but designed to last.

From trees to groundcovers, I select each plant with purpose—drawing on years of experience working with diverse soil types, microclimates, and garden styles across the Macedon Ranges and Melbourne.
