Edible Gardens Services in Adelaide, South Australia

“I worked with Cathy and her team on project in the Adelaide Hills in 2018. The house and garden were set on multiple levels. Cathy designed a plan for the garden that complimented the architecture and worked around and improved the existing infrastructure and established plants. Her design and implementation was flawless. She worked tirelessly to remove unwanted plants, prepare the beds, plant out and mulch the new gardens. The result is amazing. I look forward to working with Cathy again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others. Paul Cooksey. Architect + Principle Northern Edge Studio.”

“Just leave it to Tony... My wife and I deliberated for a long time about whether hiring a garden designer would bring a return on investment and add value to our home - however, we were in a predicament. During the planning of our soon-to-be built, split-level home on a sloping block, we were often left wondering how to landscape the front yard, some 2-3 metres from road level. It certainly was not a DIY job, and getting it to look like it was all 'part of the plan' rather than afterthought, was creating a lot of anxiety, both in ideas and cost. The rear yard also required a set of encumbrances to be met and be constructed in a way that maximised the natural slope of the land and be sympathetic to neighbouring properties. We met with Tony, and he sketched out his concepts for the front and back garden. The design was tremendous, his skill at designing a unique landscape 'on-the-spot' were incredible, all without a finished house to provide any reference to either - just some builders plans. Tony's knowledge of landscape construction and building techniques enabled us to spend money on elements of the landscape that would afford us the most impact for our home and provide us with spaces to be enjoyed with relatively low maintenance. His landscaping team was very good, they completed their work with precision, care and efficiency. Towards the end of the project, Tony gave his time on a weekend to come and show us how to plant and help do the set-out in the rear garden so we could feel as thought we were part of the project. All work was complete inline with the original concepts and plans. The budget was pretty much on track too, with some unknown elements blowing out - but that is the nature of building and construction which you accept. Hiring Living Pictures Garden Design was one of the best investments we have made for our new home. What we didn't think could be achieved, was actually made possible. If you are ever 'on-the-fence' about hiring a garden designer, just do it - but just make sure it's Tony.”

“Henrietta has a very good eye and was able to turn a jungle into a very pleasant garden. She also did not use formula planning. She was innovative and was able to handle difficulties like plant squashing dogs. All her plants survived the summer, and she picked quick growing ones, so the garden although only a year old now, looks as if it has been established for a long time. she is also a veery nice person to work with!
