The garden reflects its owners’ diverse passions—a plant scientist and an artist—where science meets creativity. It is a vibrant blend of function and beauty, nestled on a sloping block with a series of terraced beds. Each level has been carefully designed to take full advantage of the slope, creating an intricate yet harmonious flow. The terracing helps manage the gradient while maximising growing space for both food and ornamental plants.

Branches Of Me is an extension of our low waste living practices. With an eco-sewing business and a family of four, our weekly goal is to have no more than one bag a week in the red bin. This is mostly achieved from the garden. All of my sewing scraps, food scraps and garden scraps are composted and recreated into beautiful soil for my garden, which will then produce our food, so the circle continues on.
