After
A part of the landscape design team, I contributed to the design of this garden celebrating useful plants and their connection to everyday life. The planting is arranged around the seasons and 24 solar terms, creating a journey of seasonal change as visitors move through the garden. As a young garden, it will continue to develop and mature over time.

Entrance Garden (Japan)
Designed to resolve the site's level change with a simple and welcoming entry sequence. The planting was kept natural and restrained, creating a calm streetscape that complements the architecture.
Private garden (NZ)
Cafeteria Interior Planting (Japan)
Interior planting design for a cafeteria within a private learning centre. Large feature plants were carefully selected to complement the scale of the space and soften the interior environment.
