So lovely working with the students of Mahogany Rise Primary School to make this a special place for the local community. It's also been great chatting to people walking through the updated park too and seeing their reactions as I've been painting. 😄

Delighted to be able to share some photos of Lady Emily Reserve in Skye with you all. Designed with and for Frankston City Council, we've managed to increase accessibility, hugely increase the range of play opportunities for all ages, and also had the fun of creating the kooky stone 'chickens' for the community.
So lovely to see it getting good use - that's what its' all about. :-)

Details starting to come together for this quirky sculptural project Leafing (our Public Art arm) are undertaking in Skye. These are some of the egg-laying creatures. :-)

Well this is a lovely surprise!
Leaf Design Studio received a Commendation in the Landscape Category of the Knox Design Awards for Marie Wallace Park in Bayswater. Close to my heart as it's my local big playspace! A lovely team to work with also.

While the world is going mad, some good work is still going on behind the scenes. So good to see this happening - and Leaf is contributing in our small way. We donate 5% of our profits to the Carbon Neutral Charitable fund to plant biodiverse trees in Australia.

In case you missed it, last night ABC’s 7.30 featured a story on our 1 Million Tree project at Eurardy Reserve in midwest Western Australia.

Along with our planting partner Carbon Neutral Charitable Fund, we're planting 1 million native trees, plants and shrubs at Eurardy, which is on Nanda country, over the next decade.

The goal is to restore the ecosystem and provide habitat for native species.

You can watch the story on demand on ABC iview for 30 days: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/7-30/series/0/video/NC2001H130S00

The Eurardy story is at about the 26 minute mark 🕒

Leaf Design Studio fully supports strong targets for emission reduction to support climate action. It's something we're genuinely passionate about, and while we do what we can professionally and personally, we need more help from governments to make this work.

Dan Andrews

Here’s our open letter in today's Age newspaper! 👇📰 285 businesses and organisations large and small calling on Dan Andrews to set climate targets to limit warming to 1.5 degrees.

In just a few weeks, the Premier will decide Victoria's 2025 & 2030 targets to cut emissions. It could be the most important decision Victoria makes on climate this decade.
