This thoughtfully crafted garden transforms a compact East Geelong block into a series of connected, nature-rich outdoor rooms.
Reusing materials from the designer’s award-winning MIFGS ‘Saltbush’ garden, the space blends indigenous planting, organic forms, and family-friendly zones to nurture play, connection, and ecological health.
Each area is shaped by local conditions, with resilient coastal species, clever level changes, and water-sensitive design supporting long-term sustainability.
Judges praised the project’s clarity, functionality, and strong sense of place, applauding its cohesive layout, excellent plant palette, and beautifully integrated materials.
