Inner City Sanctuary
“Engaging Wild Urban Green is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Their knowledge of plants is extensive and their design skills are flexible and considered. They are great listeners and easy communicators which made the whole design and build process a genuine collaborative and happy exchange of ideas. My unruly garden is now a space that's easy to maintain, functional, visually intriguing, and engages me every day.”
— Client
Our brief was to create a lush, beautiful outdoor sanctuary that feels calming, restorative, and nurturing.
Our design allows for different experiences - an open deck space framed by garden for entertaining friends and family, a hidden pocket of retreat along the fence for reading and relaxing, and a beautiful vista for our client to enjoy as they look out from their kitchen window
Re-using materials salvaged by our client:
Round concrete pavers, for entrance paving & meandering trails
Hexagonal tiles, now under pots on the deck
Old decking timber, made into new bench seats
Bluestone, now formed into a walled garden bed
Existing sleepers, used to rebuild a vegetable bed
Hardscaping elements, including a beautiful deck and paving work by Phil Mullett from Broadleaf Landscapes accompanied by an eclectic mix of native and exotic plant treasures. Salvaged materials fold into the landscape.
