2025 Softscaping in the Landscape
Sponsored By: Speciality Trees
Gold: Ocean Road Landscaping, Fairhaven Project
Set on a coastal hillside, this garden has been revitalised into a lush, wildlife-friendly sanctuary shaped by thoughtful plant selection and sensitive restoration.
Hardy natives, wind-pruned forms, and a beautifully replanted pond create layers of movement, colour, and habitat that feel deeply connected to the surrounding dunes.
The planting palette delivers year-round interest, with water plants, flowering species, and textural foliage combining to create a serene, immersive atmosphere.
Judges praised the project’s strong horticultural knowledge, diverse plant combinations, and the creation of a natural ecosystem that captivates and enriches the space
