For gardens that connect people with nature
Vibrant Garden Ecosystems
Little Oak Tree gardens are inspired by nature and ecology. Drawing on permaculture ideas, our designs create a harmonious mix of beauty and practicality: a thriving web of life and nourishing food for New Zealand gardens.
Phase 1
Every new project starts with a phone call to establish that we're a good fit as designer and client. This is followed by a detailed consultation in your garden in a collaborative process.
I’ll sum all this up in a clear proposal letter that also outlines all stages of the work.
Phase 2
We start with a comprehensive site survey, as understanding the site is key to developing an ecologically sound garden.
Next, we'll develop a concept plan to develop well thought out ideas, creating a smart, practical, and beautiful space.
Phase 3
Once you’ve approved it, we'll prepare a master plan with drawings of all landscaping and planting ideas.
Phase 4
A planting plan maps out the plants to suit your space and design, as well as advice on caring for your garden as it matures.
I keep an eye on the project as it progresses and am always available to answer any questions. It’s fantastic to see your garden taking shape.
