*Online consultations now available.
Here's a few little tricks that I use to get the most from my gardens at this time of the year.
These photos are a quick guide from Winter to Spring/Summer.

Here are some examples of my consultations and my work that I've done over the very recent years.
Online consultations are $150 and it's really about pulling apart your garden and fixing the future mistakes.
In person consultations are $300 where I come to your house and we'll discuss exactly the same thing except I'll be there in person.
If you have irrigation issues, I can also help with this. Conditions apply.

For everyone following me this year in the garden, I'm very grateful to be working with Charlie Carp. Over the years, my gardens have produced large amounts of growth and flowers.
I'll keep posting my results so you can see how the plants are changing over the growing season.
At the moment, the healthy and vibrant growth is a great sign that it's working a treat.

Quick update.
I'm now going to be opening up online consultations for people who live out of town or for people who struggle to find time.
What I do is sit down and chat about your personal area and what issues you have. I'll break things down so you can understand what I'm thinking and why. It's important for you to understand what is going on in the area so you can understand what is best for you over a long term.
We can talk about irrigation, lighting etc
It doesn't matter if you have a new garden installed, balcony, acreage or a medium sized garden. The principles are going to be almost the same.
If you'd like more information, simply message me and I'll get back to you.
The cost is $150 and I'll write you up, what we've discussed.
It's a great time to work now until November and another great time is next March after the early rain comes through.

Have you ever wondered how to make a feature blend in and make it look natural? I discovered this exact thing at the new kurunga native nursery and it grabbed my attention.
The emu is made from corten steel and sits amongst plants that are for sale. These plants in particular are not my focus, it's the height of the plants and the colours they've used to maximise the effect.
For a very small display, the person who created it has done a great job.
I'm doing a clip shortly about the new native nursery. I have been asked many times by people if I had been there. Well now I have and I'll get some info. up shortly.

A huge shout out to Di's Delightful Plants (Online Nursery) in Wandin for helping me keep my gardens affordable whilst looking beautiful.

Hey everyone, quick update.
I have been hearing that some people are struggling to have a beautiful garden and they can't afford plants etc.
This to me is devastating because I know first hand how that feels.
I have been shopping at Di's Delightful Plants and found the prices very encouraging and the plant quality is excellent.
If you are finding it tough don't be put off, just do your best. Nature doesn't care about money just food and housing. I've never heard an insect or animal complain about money.
I'll do a clip shortly about this because it's a great way to shop even if you are stuck at home or need another avenue to purchase plants.

Before vs After.
This is what I arrived to all those years ago. The approach was very simple. One plant a week and to keep working on the base, which is the soil.
Years of positive building up on the soil has seen huge changes.
Just think one plant a week, not some random plant but one that is going to be the future of the garden. If you are going forwards, you're not going backwards.
