In the leafy inner north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, a remarkable low maintenance garden thrives, predominantly adorned with Australian native plants. Designed with a busy family in mind, the goal was to create an easily manageable garden. The owner specifically desired a “overgrown” and rambling aesthetic, avoiding clipped hedges and structured forms. With this vision in mind, garden designer Nadia Cole from Platylobium Garden Design brought the newly renovated home to life by designing a garden that enveloped the property.
This garden is a delightful amalgamation of contrasting elements. The front garden embraces openness, inviting interaction with the neighbourhood through a slate timber fence that beckons passersby to stop and engage in friendly conversations. On the other hand, the backyard provides a secluded and private sanctuary. The cozy courtyard exudes a welcoming ambiance, and the plant selections consist of soft ground covers and taller trees along the boundaries, ensuring enhanced privacy.
Experience the tranquility and beauty of this low maintenance Australian native garden, thoughtfully designed to harmonise with the needs of a busy family. Perhaps the answer to your garden design questions are in this video! Let me know your favourite part in the caption π

Well done your videos feel quite professional and well put together. Keep it up ππ
I can imagine the work in preparation to put these together, well done and look forward to more!
BHG eat your heart out …….. It's great Chloe. I hope you've still got that old footage of my place. One day when we can do our gardens, we can do a walk around just like this π Great reno too. Reminds me of ours, they kept the foot print and worked with that.
Loved this Chloe! What a stunning home and garden – and love how youβve pieced this together. Canβt wait for more!
Beautiful house and garden. They should open the garden though open gardens Victoria.
Great garden!
Love it!
Hmmm!! Think I'd rather some colour in the garden to be honest!!
Excellent design. Suitable also for couples with no children, and do not want to mow lawns.
