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. 

Whether you’re refreshing a border or building a garden from the ground up, this service takes the  guesswork out of planting and brings your garden design to life.
