to Simplify Your Garden

The Quick Guide to getting more enjoyment from your garden – without the stress and expense.

This Guide is for you if:

  • You want to make quick and simple changes to your garden and get beautiful results (without having to get a botany degree!).

  • You are so excited to visit the nursery, but then feel totally overwhelmed about which plants to choose.

  • You’re left feeling a little disappointed when the plants you buy don’t even last the season!

  • You’re frustrated with all the time and effort needed to maintain your garden.

  • You don’t want to spend a fortune on your garden (purchasing plants, compost and fertilisers, the water bill, maintenance costs…).

  • You want your garden to be a place you go to escape the stresses of life, not a place that causes you stress.

"When we downsized to a townhouse, we were excited to upgrade the garden, but we needed some guidance to get started. Gina inspired us to introduce more indigenous plants and encouraged us to define the beds with cobblestone edging. This looks great and makes maintenance so much easier. We adore our garden and get such joy from it."

John and Beryl Tonkin, Townhouse Homeowners
